A senior at Sidney High School, Garrett Guinther has combined talent
and competitive spirit with the highest ideals of good sportsmanship
to establish himself as a truly exceptional young athlete. With
admirable dedication, he has worked diligently toward attaining
ultimate proficiency in the pole vault, and as a result, he set a

Vandalia-Butler Invitational and went on to place first at the
Division I State Track and Field Meet with a record-tying mark of 17
feet, 2 inches; and

Garrett Guinther’s accomplishments and leadership, both in and out
of competition, are a justifiable source of pride and a fine
reflection not only on him but also on his family, his teammates, his
coaches, his school, and his community. His unwavering commitment to
excellence has earned him the respect and esteem of many, and he is
certainly worthy of high praise; and

WHEREAS,
With athletic competition playing such an important role in the total
education of our young people, we are extremely pleased to pay
tribute to Garrett Guinther on an exemplary season. Indeed, the same
maturity and experience he has gained through his participation in
track and field will greatly aid him in meeting the challenges of the
future; therefore be it

RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 136th
General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend
Garrett Guinther as the 2025 Division I State Track and Field
Champion in the pole vault and extend best wishes for continued
success; and be it further

RESOLVED,
That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly
authenticated copy of this Resolution to Garrett Guinther.
