   01/15/20  House  Introduced and adopted (House Journal-page 10)

TO HONOR EMILY MILES, DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS COMMUNICATIONS AND PUBLIC RELATIONS (MEN'S BASKETBALL) FOR UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA ATHLETICS AND TO CELEBRATE HER ACHIEVEMENTS AS AN ATHLETE AND SPORTS ADMINISTRATOR.

Whereas, for more than ten years, Emily Miles, director of athletics communications and public relations (men's basketball) for University of South Carolina Athletics, has served the Palmetto State's flagship university with energy and excellence; and

Whereas, she came to the University of South Carolina with an impressive track record already in the books. As a Ball State University athlete, she scored the first goal and first hat trick in that institution's soccer history. Further, she was a four-year letter winner for the NCAA Division I Ball State Cardinals; and

Whereas, Emily Miles worked her way to the University of South Carolina after building a name for herself with Loyola University Chicago, the Philadelphia Phillies (Major League baseball), East Tennessee State University, and Michigan State University; and

Whereas, Emily has over a decade of service with the University of South Carolina Athletics program. She served legendary Coach Mark Berson in media relations for the men's soccer program. She was then promoted to assistant athletics director of media relations for the men's basketball program and has served as Head Coach Frank Martin's media and information director for his entire tenure, including the 2017 Final Four run; and

Whereas, in these roles, Emily was at times the only female in a major men's program in the United States. Proven authentic by her varied life and career experiences, this wife, mom, and administrator has spoken nationally to women in the athletics field about work and life balance; and

Whereas, grateful for her commitment and consistently outstanding service to the University of South Carolina Athletics program, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in wishing Emily Miles continued satisfaction and success in her career. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, honor Emily Miles, director of athletics communications and public relations (men's basketball) for University of South Carolina Athletics, and celebrate her achievements as an athlete and sports administrator.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Emily Miles.
