This remarkable accomplishment is a fine tribute to The Ohio State

including its coaches, Ray Sharp and Tim Thiel, have helped establish
Brutus as an international icon and a recognizable symbol for The
Ohio State University and our state as a whole, and they can
certainly take pride in their achievement; and

people like those behind the Brutus Buckeye mascot team, and we
celebrate them all for their outstanding contributions to this
important institution. We look forward to seeing what they accomplish
next, and we are confident they will continue to shape the culture of
The Ohio State University; therefore be it
RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of
Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend The Ohio State University
Brutus Buckeye mascot team as the Universal Cheerleading Association
and Universal Dance Association National Champion; and be it further
