CONGRATULATING JANNE VILHUNEN OF LANDER UNIVERSITY FOR HIS OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS AS A MEMBER OF LANDER'S 1997 NCAA DIVISION II NATIONAL MENS TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM.

Whereas, Janne Vilhunen was an outstanding member of Lander University's 1997 NCAA Division II National Mens Tennis Championship Team; and

Whereas, his and his teammates' prowess led the team to their seventh consecutive national team title, ninth national title in thirteen years, and sixth consecutive NCAA Division II Peach Belt Athletic Conference Championship; and

Whereas, the 1997 squad excelled academically by accumulating a team grade point ratio of 3.4 out of a possible 4.0 with five seniors ending the year with grade point ratios exceeding 3.7 and earning membership in Alpha Chi national honor fraternity and Sigma Beta Delta business honor society and five players receiving NCAA Academic All-American status; and

Whereas, the team's individual and collective athletic and academic successes are positive role models for student-athletes across our State and reflect the principles of excellence and integrity instilled by their coach, Joseph Cabri; and

Whereas, the team's success has brought great honor to Lander University, the Greenwood community, and South Carolina, and the team is highly deserving of recognition. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
