 A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO CELEBRATE THE DORMAN HIGH SCHOOL BOYS CROSS COUNTRY TEAM
 ON WINNING THE 2017 CLASS AAAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE AND TO COMMEND THESE
 RUNNERS ON A STELLAR SEASON.

   01/11/18  House  Introduced and adopted (House Journal-page 587)

TO CELEBRATE THE DORMAN HIGH SCHOOL BOYS CROSS COUNTRY TEAM ON WINNING THE 2017 CLASS AAAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE AND TO COMMEND THESE RUNNERS ON A STELLAR SEASON.

Whereas, having shot past all comers, the Dorman High School boys cross country team collected eighty-seven points and edged Riverside, thus nailing the 2017 Class AAAAA State Championship title; and

Whereas, held on Saturday, November 4, 2017, at the Sandhill Research Center in Columbia, the championship win highlighted a season that produced several standouts for the Cavaliers, including Wynn Johnson, the first runner from Dorman to win an individual state title; and

Whereas, this Dorman senior was named Herald-Journal/GoUpstate Boys Runner of the Year, All-State, All-Region, and All-County and ran the anchor leg in the 2017 Shrine Bowl run. He was undefeated against runners from South Carolina in any meet of the season and ran a personal best of 15:30; and

Whereas, by no means was he alone in turning in an outstanding performance. Teammate Noah McLain, selected for the Herald-Journal/GoUpstate First Team, also was named All-State, All-Region, and All-County and was tenth at the 5A state championships, running a personal best of 16:18. He was tapped for the 2017 Shrine Bowl run; and

Whereas, further, three Dorman runners were chosen for the Herald-Journal/GoUpstate Second Team for their fine performances: Alex Umberg won All-Region and All-County honors and was selected for the 2017 Shrine Bowl run. His personal best of 16:36 came in the Upper State meet. In addition, Logan Easterlin earned All-Region and All-County laurels and was selected for the Shrine Bowl run. He ran a personal best of 16:48 at the 5A Upper State meet. Finally, Cavalier Eddie Urban was an All-Region and All-County runner, finishing fifth at the Region III-5A meet and tenth at the Spartanburg County meet; and

Whereas, determined to see their runners show the best that was in them, Head Varsity Coach Jeff Buys and Assistant Varsity Coach Jacob Anderson drilled these athletes in hard work, self-discipline, and team spirit. The crowning results speak for themselves; and

Whereas, the House extends its best congratulations to the Dorman High School cross country team and is pleased to add its collective voice of praise to the many accolades that have flowed in on the occasion of the school's capturing the top prize at the 2017 state competition. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, celebrate the Dorman High School boys cross country team on winning the 2017 Class AAAAA State Championship title and commend these runners on a stellar season.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Ken Kiser and Coach Jeff Buys of Dorman High School.
