VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
A house RESOLUTION
to honor and recognize Elijah Jennings on an amazing season and to congratulate him on winning An International Professional Rodeo Association World Championship Title and his first Victory at the Professional Bull Riders Pendleton whisky Velocity Tour.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were pleased to hear eighteen-year-old Elijah Jennings, of Cleveland, has emerged as one of the most promising young bull riders in the sport after an impressive season that led him to winning a world championship title with the International Professional Rodeo Association at the 56th International Finals Rodeo in January. He then transitioned into the professional bull riding tour circuit, having his first career victory at the toughest professional development tour in bull riding, the Professional Bull Riders Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour; and
Whereas, at the season ending championship, the International Professional Rodeo Association's International Finals Rodeo, Jennings delivered impressive and consistent performances across multiple rounds, besting many of the top competitors from across the country, and winning the top bull riding spot in one of the sport's most respected seasonal championships with an 84.25-point ride; and
Whereas, he then entered the professional bull riding tour circuit, and right away he earned his first career victory at the Professional Bull Riders Pendleton Whiskey Velocity Tour stop in Van Andel Arena, during the Cooper Tires PBR Grand Rapids event. He had a good start, lasting the full eight seconds on his first bull for 85.80 points in the second round. Elijah took the lead with the fourth out of the Championship Round, with an exceptional 87.60-point ride to reach 173.40 points and overtake the current leader, Cole Trivette; and
Whereas, these accomplishments are just the beginning for Elijah, who is making his mark in the PBR, at just eighteen years old, as an experienced and fearless rider. Many eyes will be on Elijah as he goes on throughout the rest of the Professional Bull Rider season in hopes of continuing to qualify for higher profile events, such as the PBR Finals in May, while gaining status and traction in the bull riding world among a new wave of increasingly competitive riders across the United States; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives value the pride and recognition that Elijah Jennings has brought to his community and the State of South Carolina with these spectacular victories, and look forward to following his future accomplishments. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, honor and recognize Elijah Jennings on an amazing season and congratulate him on winning an International Professional Rodeo Association World Championship title and his first victory at the Professional Bull Riders Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Elijah Jennings.
