TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE DREHER HIGH SCHOOL BOYS TRACK AND FIELD TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM ON WINNING THE 2012 CLASS AAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, the South Carolina Senate is pleased to learn that the Dreher High School boys track and field team took top honors at the state competition on Saturday, May 12, 2012; and

Whereas, to the delight of their fans and the disappointment of their opponents, the Blue Devils dominated the field in Class AAA, nailing the state title with a score of 88, a solid 30 points above runner-up South Pointe; and

Whereas, sprinter Brandon Sanders went on record as the first sprinter in South Carolina to post state-title wins four years in a row in the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes; and

Whereas, in a sport that demands individual strength, skill, and perseverance, Hall of Fame Head Coach Daniel Brooks and his skilled coaching staff of Bennie Isaac, Damien Jackson, Katherine Warden-Sipes, Kelly Brooks, Dominique Padgett, Jennifer Kooken, David Weeks, and Tatiana Warren used their own athletic ability and training to forge a championship team and teach these athletes lessons that will prove invaluable through life both on and off the track; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are grateful for the pride and recognition these young athletes have brought to their school and community and look forward to hearing of their continued accomplishments in the days ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize and honor the Dreher High School boys track and field team, coaches, and school officials for an outstanding season and congratulate them on winning the 2012 Class AAA State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Principal Jeanne Stiglbauer and Coach Daniel Brooks of Dreher High School.
