A house RESOLUTION

TO CELEBRATE THE FORT MILL HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS SWIM TEAM ON WINNING THE 2024 CLASS AAAAA DIVISION II STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AND TO CONGRATULATE THE SWIMMERS AND THEIR COACHES ON A SUPERLATIVE SEASON.

Whereas, having proved themselves unstoppable as defending champions, the Fort Mill High School girls swim team handily defeated nearest competitor Eastside 483-409 and shot past all other comers at their state championship meet, held at the University of South Carolina Natatorium on October 19, 2024; and

Whereas, it was the third straight state-title win for the Lady Yellow Jackets, and Head Coach Cindy Van Buskirk, having honed her athletes into a formidable phalanx of swimmers, saw the fruits of her labors as the title trophy was hoisted. Her swimmers were as proud of Coach Van Buskirk as she was of them when she finished the season by earning her fourth state championship as head swim coach at Fort Mill. Coach Van Buskirk also was named both girls and boys state Swim Coach of the Year; and

Whereas, ironically, when the final lengths were complete, the Fort Mill swimmers did not have any individual winners. But they had brought twenty swimmers and real depth to the competition, and it was their depth that captured the title, as testified by their accumulation of high finishes. High performances included Lila Hadley's third-place finish in the 200-yard individual medley and second-place finish in the 100-yard breaststroke, as well as Bella Corbi's four top-five finishes, including fourth in the 200-yard individual medley. Further, Ava Corbi accomplished a third-place finish in the 50-yard freestyle and a fifth-place finish in the 100-yard freestyle; and

Whereas, this three-peat win marks the thirty-sixth state team championship in Fort Mill High School history and places the Lady Yellow Jacket swim team as only the second program at the school to achieve three consecutive state titles; and

Whereas, appreciative of the deservedly high reputation of the Fort Mill High girls swim team and coaches, the House is delighted to add a full meed of praise to the voices of the many fans of these fine athletes on the occasion of the acquisition of their newest state title. Go, Lady Yellow Jackets! 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 Fort Mill High School girls swim team on winning the 2024 Class AAAAA Division II State Championship and congratulate the swimmers and their coaches on a superlative season.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Zachary D. Beam and Head Coach Cindy Van Buskirk of Fort Mill High School.
