TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND ANTHUAN MAYBANK FOR HIS SIGNIFICANT ATHLETIC ACHIEVEMENTS AND TO WELCOME HIM HOME TO THE PALMETTO STATE AS THE GEORGETOWN COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION DEDICATES ITS TRACK FIELD IN HIS HONOR.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that Georgetown County Parks and Recreation will have a ceremony to dedicate its track field in honor of Anthuan Maybank at the Beck Recreation Center on April 23, 2022; and

Whereas, he will speak at a special session, "Let's Talk Success!" for children and teens on Friday, April 22, 2022, at Howard Auditorium in Georgetown where families are welcomed to attend. He will address topics such as smart choices, discipline, goals, and success; and

Whereas, born in Georgetown on December 30, 1969, Anthuan Maybank attended Georgetown High School and was coached by "Sweet" Freddie Young. During his high school career, he set the current state record in the 400 meter at 46.67 seconds, and to honor him, the street in front of the school was named for him. He attended the University of Iowa on a full athletic scholarship; and

Whereas, Mr. Maybank was a member of the 1996 United States Olympic track team and won a gold medal in the men's 4x400 meter relay, running the last leg of the relay and besting an effort from the United Kingdom's Roger Black who had won a silver medal in an individual event at the games; and

Whereas, not a well-known athlete at the time, he further displayed his athletic prowess a few weeks later by winning the 400-meter race at a prestigious competition in Zurich; and

Whereas, Mr. Maybank currently resides in Delaware and is the sprint coach for the Tatnall School, and for more than twenty-five years, he has worked with organizations and shared his experiences in order to launch health and wellness programs for the state of Delaware, nonprofit institutions, and national organizations, as well as internationally in France and Germany; and

Whereas, through his company, Champion BODY (Building Outgoing Dynamic Youth), he has created programs to motivate youth and adults while fostering lifestyle changes by concentrating on continually striving to improve communities, serving organizations, and mentoring others; and

Whereas, Mr. Maybank challenges others to realize their potential and to achieve personal and professional goals for success by sharing his experiences from high school and college; and

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives values the pride and recognition that this son of South Carolina has brought to the Palmetto State, and the members wish him continued success in all his future endeavors. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and commend Anthuan Maybank for his significant athletic achievements and welcome him home to the Palmetto State as the Georgetown County Parks and Recreation dedicates its track field in his honor.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Anthuan Maybank.
