A concurrent RESOLUTION

 

To congratulate the Greer Middle College charter High School Boys CROSS Country and Track and field teams for winning their respective class AA Boys state championship titleS.

 

Whereas, the Greer Middle College Charter High School boys cross country and track and field teams both experienced an outstanding year, much to the delight of their fans and to the disappointment of their rivals. In the ultimate testimony to their athleticism, both teams were crowned Class AA state champions; and

 

Whereas, the cross country team was undefeated among all other teams in South Carolina. The season started strong with them beating all ninety-seven varsity teams that participated at the prestigious Eye Opener Invitational. Midseason, the Blazers competed against nationally top-ranked teams from across the east coast at the Great American XC Festival in Cary, North Carolina, where they clinched a fourth-place finish. To solidify their ranking as the number one team in South Carolina, they defeated Fort Mill by sixty points at the Coaches Classic International Meet in Newberry. On November 11, 2023, they returned to Newberry with unwavering strength to capture the 2023 Class AA Boys Cross Country Championship title, defeating Bishop England and Academic Magnet by placing their top six runners in the top fifteen of the state championship meet; and

 

Whereas, to make a sweet victory even sweeter, this win was the fifth consecutive state championship title claimed by the Blazers cross country team. Adding to their glory, team members Jackson Tuck, Beason Tuck, and Chappell Martin were all ranked as the top three sophomores in the State of South Carolina. The Blazers bring great pride to their school, community, and supporters with these monumental achievements; and

 

Whereas, the track and field team experienced an equal amount of success this season by securing the 2023 Class AA Boys Track and Field State Championship title, the Blazer's second consecutive state crown. This back-to-back accomplishment in a sport that demands speed, endurance, strength, and agility is evidence that these track and field athletes are a force to be reckoned with; and

 

Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly takes great pleasure in recognizing the Greer Middle College Charter High School boys cross country and track and field teams for their impressive feats, and the members look forward to learning about the future accomplishments of these young athletes. Now, therefore,

 

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

 

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, congratulate the Greer Middle College Charter High School boys cross country and track and field teams for winning their respective state championship titles.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Jimmy Armstrong and Coach David Smith of Greer Middle College Charter High School.
