are the hallmarks of a true champion. To his credit, he could always
be counted on not only to shine individually but also to contribute
significantly to his teammates’ collective effort; and
WHEREAS,
A junior at The Ohio State University, Jesse Mendez is truly worthy
of acknowledgement for the formidable athletic gifts and the
competitive spirit that he has so amply revealed throughout this past
season. He has inspired his teammates, thrilled his fans, gained the
respect of his opponents, and made his coaches and family very proud;
therefore be it
RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 136th
General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, congratulate
Jesse Mendez on his impressive wrestling accomplishment and salute
him as a fine young athlete; and be it further
RESOLVED,
That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly
