|
|
crossed the line in 15:57; Ben Amundson and Brian Sewall also |
|
|
completed the course for the Highlanders, and all of the Woodlands |
|
|
competitors benefited throughout the season from the leadership of |
|
|
head coach Juris Green; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, By successfully defending their state title, The |
|
|
Woodlands High School Highlanders have furthered their school's |
|
|
exceptional record of athletic achievement, and all those |
|
|
associated with the team may reflect with pride on a job well done; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
