TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE LANDRUM HIGH SCHOOL BOYS TRACK AND FIELD TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON, AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2011 CLASS A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the Landrum High School boys track and field team of Spartanburg County took top honors at the state competition on Saturday, May 14, 2011; and
Whereas, to the delight of their fans and the disappointment of their opponents, the Landrum High Cardinals track and field team defeated the Lamar High School Silver Foxes by more than ten points to win the state title; and
Whereas, the Cardinals finished the 2011 season with a 36-1 regular season record, placed first in the Class A upper-state championship meet, and scored a record 292.5 points to win the Class AA regional meet; and
Whereas, senior Kenneth Human earned an individual title along with teammates Levi Wedde, Danny Bruce, and Chris Downey in the 4x800 relay, and he posted 24 points, more than a third of the team's total; and
Whereas, in the state meet, Levi Wedde scored 18 points, and Chris Downey scored 14 points while Peyton McCarter came in third in the pole vault with a personal record of 12 feet 6 inches and Cole McDowell had a personal record for the triple jump and won statewide honors with a jump of 44 feet and 3 inches; and
Whereas, in a sport that demands individual strength, skill, perseverance, and team play, Head Coach Russell Mahaffey and his skilled coaching staff of Brandon Mullins, Jeremy Darby, Jessie Miller, Martha Dorman, and Steve Whitesides 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 House of Representatives are grateful for the pride and recognition these young athletes have brought to their school and their community and look to hear of their continued accomplishments in the days ahead. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
