CONGRATULATING THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA WOMEN'S TRACK TEAM ON WINNING THE SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE WOMEN'S OUTDOOR TRACK AND FIELD TITLE FOR 1999, AND EXTENDING THE PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO THE TEAM'S MEMBERS AND COACHES ON THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1999.

Whereas, the women's track program at the University of South Carolina commenced in 1991 when USC joined the Southeastern Conference; and

Whereas, former NCAA champions Dawn Ellerbe (with four national titles) and Lisa Misipeka (with two national titles) led the Lady Gamecocks to a second place finish in the SEC outdoor championship meet in 1996, the program's highest finish in the conference up to that point; and

Whereas, the Southeastern Conference is considered the toughest-and the premier-track conference in the nation; and

Whereas, the USC women's track team won the SEC Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Sunday, May 23, 1999; the Lady Gamecocks brought home five women's titles at the meet, including the 4x400 meter relay; Ellakisha Williamson won both the 100 meter and the 400 meter hurdles and ran a leg of the school-record 4x400 meter relay team; Mikele Barber won her second consecutive SEC title in the 400 meters and ran the anchor leg of the relay; Erin Narzinski won her second heptathlon in three years, and Michelle Fournier won USC's fourth straight hammer title; and

Whereas, the Lady Gamecocks currently are ranked eighth nationally and will travel to Boise, Idaho for the NCAA Championships to be held June 2 - 5, 1999; and

Whereas, this SEC crown is an outstanding accomplishment for a program that has come a very long way in just a few short years; the members of the Lady Gamecocks track team are talented, dedicated student-athletes who are greatly deserving of recognition, and we are, indeed, pleased to be able to honor them in this special manner. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, congratulates the University of South Carolina women's track team on winning the Southeastern Conference Women's Outdoor Track and Field Title for 1999.

Be it further resolved that the privilege of the floor of the House of Representatives be extended to the team and its coaches on Thursday, May 27, 1999, at a time to be set by the Speaker, for the purpose of being recognized and honored for their accomplishments.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the team and its coaches.
