A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE THE RIDGE VIEW HIGH SCHOOL "BLAZERS" TRACK AND FIELD TEAM OF RICHLAND COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT 2 ON ITS AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE AND TO HONOR ITS ATHLETES AND THEIR COACHES ON AN OUTSTANDING SEASON.

Whereas, the 2006 Ridge View High School Blazers Track and Field Team is composed of tremendous athletes, who possess dashing speed, endurance, and strength; and

Whereas, Coach Frank Marrero and his assistant coach, Henry Samual, spent countless afternoons beginning in early January training and conditioning their athletes, preparing them to compete at the highest level; and

Whereas, the Blazers responded greatly to these intense workouts and long practices by pushing themselves to the limit and bringing home their third consecutive state championship, scoring one hundred four and a half points in the state championship meet, besting rivals Spring Valley and Sumter; and

Whereas, Cornelius Harvin helped the Blazers win two of the team's six gold medals by sweeping the 1,600 and 3,200 with times of 4:20.30 and 9:43.95 respectively. Harvin also ran a leg on the Blazers' winning 3,200-relay team that ran a state-record 7:53.13; and

Whereas, Rodney Lipscomb carried his load for Ridge View by finishing second in the 100 meter dash with a time of 11.20 and second in the 400 meter dash with a time of 47.7 before winning a gold medal in the 200 meter dash with a time of 21.23. He also ran a leg on the 400 relay which finished third with a time of 42.54; and

Whereas, Richard Williams was able to contribute another first place finish for the Blazers by winning the 800; and

Whereas, the members of the 2006 championship team included: Devin Blue, Steven Davis, Keegan Gilbert, Julian Hartsell, Cornelius Harvin, Rodney Lipscomb, David Mead, Maurice Palmer, Michael Varner, Richard Williams and Billy Yarborough; and

Whereas, the students, faculty, and administrators of Ridge View High School take great pride in the success and triumphs of this championship track and field team as well as the school's entire athletic program. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, congratulate the Ridge View High School Blazers Track and Field Team of Richland County School District 2 on its 2006 AAAA State Championship Title and honor its athletes and their coaches on an outstanding season.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Ridge View High School track and field Coach Frank Marrero.
