A house RESOLUTION

TO HONOR AND RECOGNIZE THE GRAY COLLEGIATE ACADEMY GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD TEAM AND COACHES FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM ON WINNING THE SOUTH CAROLINA HIGH SCHOOL LEAGUE AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were pleased to hear that on May 16, 2025, the Gray Collegiate girls track and field team won the South Carolina High School League (SCHSL) AAAA State Championship title; and

Whereas, Gray Collegiate won the SCHSL AAAA State Championship title with 61 points, narrowly defeating runner-up Daniel, who finished with 58 points. It was Gray Collegiate's second consecutive state championship, as the War Eagles claimed the AA state title last year; and

Whereas, the War Eagles led the Lions by two points 58-56 heading into the final event, the 4x400 relay. The War Eagles team of Tamara Steward, Taylor Jones, Aliyah Edwards, and Zaira Gaines made sure the lead held up as they finished sixth while the Lions finished seventh, securing the championship title; and

Whereas, this win is a testament to all the hard work and preparation that these young athletes have put in the entire season. The War Eagles finished the day with several new personal best times and multiple visits to the medal podium; and

Whereas, in a sport that requires strength and endurance, Head Coach Jackie Robinson and her talented coaching staff utilized their own experience and passion for the sport to mold a championship-caliber team. The lessons that they have taught these young athletes will continue to shape them for years to come; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives value the pride and recognition that the Gray Collegiate Academy girls track and field team has brought to their school and community. They look forward to hearing of the team's future accomplishments in the days to come. 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 the Gray Collegiate Academy girls track and field team and coaches for an outstanding season and congratulate them on winning the South Carolina High School League AAAA State Championship.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Gray Collegiate Academy Principal Dr. Brian Newsome and Head Coach Jackie Robinson.
