RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE WILSON HALL BOYS CROSS
COUNTRY TEAM AND THEIR COACHES ON THEIR SENSATIONAL PerforMANCE AT THE SOUTH
CAROLINA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL ASSOCIATION 4A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AND TO
CONGRATULATE THEM ON THEIR SECOND CONSECUTIVE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
W
hereas,
on Saturday, November first, at Heathwood Hall Episcopal School, the Wilson
Hall boys cross country team took home the state title, marking the team's
second consecutive state championship win. The Barons' first place title was
won with a remarkable 31-point lead over the second-place team, John Paul II
Catholic School, beating them by just one point the previous year; and
W
hereas,
the Wilson Hall Barons have been focused all season on defending their state
title and pushing themselves to do even better this year. The Wilson Hall boys
broke the school record for the fastest team finish, as well as breaking the
SCISA state meet record and the SCISA all-time meet record with a combined time
of one hour, twenty minutes, and fourteen point forty-eight seconds. The team
delivered many impressive performances, highlighted by Trip Hunt, who shattered
the school record by more than 20 seconds with a time of 15:26.20. Hunt
captured the individual state title, finishing eight seconds ahead of last
year's champion and earning Wilson Hall its first individual state title in
three years. All seven of the team's runners placed within the top eighteen,
each finishing under seventeen minutes, leading the team to an overall victory
and capping off a historic day for the program; and
W
hereas,
in a sport that demands endurance as well as mental and physical strength, Head
Coach Reid Schwartz and his dedicated coaching staff ̶ Dustin Smith, Kristine
Smith, Catherine Kelley Schwartz, Grier Schwartz, and Blane Russell ̶ combined
their knowledge, passion, and commitment to excellence to guide their athletes
to remarkable success. The lessons and life principles that they have taught
these athletes will continue to shape them into well-rounded individuals on and
off the course for the rest of their running careers, and all throughout their
lives; and
W
hereas,
the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives value the pride and
recognition that the Wilson Hall boys cross country team have brought to their
school and their community and look forward to following their continued
achievements in the days ahead. Now, therefore,
B
e it resolved by the
House of Representatives
:
T
hat the members of the
South Carolina
House of Representatives
,
by this resolution, recognize and honor the Wilson Hall boys cross country team
and their coaches on their sensational performance at the South Carolina
