competition, he has consistently demonstrated the talent and
motivation that are the hallmarks of a true champion; and

our state and nation the fundamentals of self-reliance and the

honest competition that will undoubtedly be of great benefit to him
throughout his lifetime; therefore be it

That we, the members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of
Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, congratulate Joel Welch on his
outstanding performance in state competition and extend best wishes
for continued success; and be it further
