|
|
Bendet, and Grace Kistler on the winning 4x400-meter relay, running |
|
|
the anchor leg for the quartet that crossed the finish line in a new |

|
meet standard of 3 minutes, 47.72 seconds; and |

|
WHEREAS, Ms. Bendet clinched two gold medals for Randolph and |
|
|
established individual meet records along the way, winning the 800 |
|
|
meters in 2 minutes, 9.1 seconds, and the 1,600 meters in 4:54.68; |
|
|
Aubrey Milam also raced to a first-place showing by clocking a 3A |
|
|
record of 10:46.7 in the 3,200 meters, and she added a bronze medal |
|
|
with her 1,600-meter time of 5:10.1; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, By accomplishing the rare feat of securing four |
|
|
consecutive state track championships, the Randolph Ro-Hawks have |
|
|
distinguished themselves as a true powerhouse in the sport, and |
|
|
they may indeed reflect with pride on a job well done; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Randolph High School girls' |
|
