A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE THE WREN HIGH SCHOOL BOYS TRACK AND FIELD TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS ON AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO HONOR THEM FOR WINNING THE 2021 MEN'S TRACK AND FIELD AAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Whereas, the South Carolina Senate is pleased to pause in its deliberations to recognize the Wren High School boys track and field team for winning the 2021 Men's Track and Field AAA State Championship; and

Whereas, the Golden Hurricanes captured the title with 68 points, ten more than second place finisher Seneca High School, securing the state championship for the first time since 2004; and

Whereas, Wren battled for the win throughout the state track and field championships with balanced and strong performances from William Wright, Guner Dorhendorf, Drew Alexander, Ben Craven, Isaac Humphries, Ben Molitor, Grady Clark, Brady Price, Grant Young, and Dustin Scruggs, all of whom took home individual state finishes in their respective events; and

Whereas, the Golden Hurricanes played their best card, however, with Shyheim Scotland in the high jump. Jumping 6-10 to claim first place in the event, he missed the state record by a mere three inches and beat out his closest competitor by six inches, a feat which clinched the championship for Wren. He also placed fifth in the long jump and third in the triple jump; and

Whereas, led by Coach Larry Clark, the athletes on the Wren High School track and field team banded together to perform at a high and distinguished standard when it mattered most. Their performances throughout the season earned Coach Clark the honor of being named the 2021 Region 1-AAA Coach of the Year, State AAA Boys Track Coach of the Year, and South Carolina Athletic Coaches Association State Boys Track Coach of the Year for all divisions; and

Whereas, exhibiting strong performances at the best time is a difficult and arduous task that requires self-discipline, hard work, and a passion to seek ever greater outcomes. The Golden Hurricanes managed to earn the right to bring home the 2021 state championship title because they exhibited these core fundamentals as a team despite the challenges that they were forced to overcome this season; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate value the pride and recognition that the Wren Golden Hurricanes have earned for their school and their 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, congratulate the Wren High School boys track and field team, coaches, and school officials on an outstanding season and honor them for winning the 2021 Men's Track and Field AAA State Championship.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Coach Larry Clark and Principal Seth Young.
