Bill > H4443

This resolution recognizes and honors the York Comprehensive High School male and female strength teams for winning the 2024-2025 South Carolina Class AAAA State Championship title. The teams competed in strength sports, which involve scoring athletes in three events: back squat, bench press, and standing broad jump, with points awarded based on individual performances. The female team was particularly impressive, sending twenty athletes to the state meet and achieving nine All-State athletes, including two state champions: Gracin Carroll and Briley Comer, who also set state records. The male team had one state champion, Eli Clinton, who set a state record with a 10-foot 4-inch broad jump. Head Coach Jason Layman, named AAAA Strength Coach of the Year, was praised for developing championship-caliber teams and teaching athletes valuable life lessons. The resolution celebrates the teams' achievements, highlighting their perseverance, strength, and expertise, and acknowledges the pride they have brought to their school and community. As a final action, the resolution stipulates that copies will be presented to the school principal, Dr. John Tharpe, and Coach Jason Layman.
