TO CONGRATULATE THE RIVERSIDE HIGH SCHOOL BOYS SWIM TEAM ON SWEEPING THE 2014 CLASS AAAA STATE SWIM CHAMPIONSHIP AND TO HONOR THE SWIMMERS AND THEIR COACHES ON A SENSATIONAL SEASON.

Whereas, on Saturday, October 11, 2014, the Riverside High School boys swim team rode the Warriors' tidal wave of powerful performances to the Class AAAA state swim crown, outswimming Fort Mill 363-260 to win Riverside's fifth state title for the boys team; and

Whereas, swimming is a competitive sport that requires individual talent, teamwork, discipline, and good sportsmanship, all qualities embodied by the Riverside High School boys swim team; and

Whereas, against the best competition in the state, these superb young swimmers brought home to Riverside top honors in the 200 individual medley (Nathan Delahunty, 1:55.48), 100 breaststroke (also Delahunty, 59.96), and 100 butterfly (Jack Frazier, 50.25); and

Whereas, Coach Eddie Hughes guided these championship-caliber boys all season long by pushing them to strive for excellence and encouraging them daily so that they were prepared to swim their best; and

Whereas, the House takes great pleasure in recognizing and congratulating this magnificent group of talented young men on their outstanding achievements in the state championship competition, and the members look for the team's continued great accomplishments in the days ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate the Riverside High School boys swim team on sweeping the 2014 Class AAAA State Swim Championship and honor the swimmers and their coaches on a sensational season.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Coach Eddie Hughes and Principal Andy Crowley of Riverside High School.
