 A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO CONGRATULATE THE J.L. MANN HIGH SCHOOL BOYS SWIM TEAM ON
 CAPTURING THE 2020 CLASS AAAAA STATE SWIM CHAMPIONSHIP AND TO CELEBRATE THE
 SWIMMERS AND THEIR COACHES ON A SENSATIONAL SEASON.

   01/13/21  House  Introduced and adopted (House Journal-page 9)

TO CONGRATULATE THE J.L. MANN HIGH SCHOOL BOYS SWIM TEAM ON CAPTURING THE 2020 CLASS AAAAA STATE SWIM CHAMPIONSHIP AND TO CELEBRATE THE SWIMMERS AND THEIR COACHES ON A SENSATIONAL SEASON.

Whereas, on Monday, October 12, 2020, at the North Charleston Aquatic Center, the J.L. Mann High School boys swim team rode the Patriots' tidal wave of powerful performances to the Class AAAAA state swim crown, outswimming Wando 376-303.5 to win Mann's second consecutive state title; and

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

Whereas, against the best competition in the State, these superb young swimmers brought home to Mann top honors in two relay events. In the 200 medley relay, Bennett Parramore, Zach Zahorec, Sutton Vanderbloemen, and Ben Bannister won in 1:37.84. In the 400 freestyle relay, Parramore, Tristan Bissetta, Julian Lazea, and Bannister won in 3:13.51; and

Whereas, Coach Cile Williamson guided her determined athletes all season long by pushing them to strive for excellence and encouraging them daily so 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 J.L. Mann High School boys swim team on capturing the 2020 Class AAAAA state swim championship and celebrate the swimmers and their coaches on a sensational season.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Coach Cile Williamson and Principal Charles S. Mayfield of J.L. Mann High School.
