A concurrent RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE Seneca High School boys
track and field TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON
AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2025 SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS AAAA STATE
CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

W
hereas, the South
Carolina General Assembly is gratified to learn that the members of the Seneca
High School track and field team of Oconee County won the state title at the
state competition held at Richland Northeast High School in Columbia on Saturday,
May 17, 2025; and

W
hereas, to the thrill
of their exuberant fans, the Seneca Bobcats defeated a fine, competitive field
of comers, besting their nearest rival, Wren High School, by a score of 54-53
in the final event of the competition; and

W
hereas, Seneca has won
seven state championships, but none since 2018. The program has finished as runner
up three times since 2021; and

W
hereas, the Bobcats
won the 2025 meet by scoring in six of the seven events for 43 points. Avery
Butler led the way by winning gold in the discus and silver in the shot put,
setting new personal records in both events. In the discus he threw 58.46,
bettering his old mark by almost three meters, and he put the shot 16.56 meters;
and

W
hereas, teammate Corbin
Williamson was second in the javelin with a throw of 51.10 meters while Isaiah
Lippert won a bronze medal in the pole vault, and Elias McGee won bronze in the
triple jump and placed fourth in the long jump; and

W
hereas, Bobcats Landon
Crawford, Kevin Bradley, Evan Jackson, and Elias McGee ran a season's best
3:23.29 in their last event, the 4x400, to finish second in heat one and place
seventh overall, after the results from the two heats were in, to get the two
points they needed to overtake their upstate rival, Wren. Landon Crawford also placed
fifth in the 400; and

W
hereas, in a sport
that demands teamwork, speed, and strength, Head Coach Chris White and his
skilled coaching staff maximized their own athletic experience and training to
forge a championship-caliber team and teach these athletes life principles that
will endure beyond the track and field; and

W
hereas, the South
Carolina General Assembly values the pride and recognition that the Seneca
track and field athletes have brought to their school and their community, and the
members look forward to following their continued accomplishments in the days
to come. Now, therefore,

B
e it resolved by the House
of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

T
hat the members of the
South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, recognize and honor the Seneca
High School boys track and field team, coaches, and school officials for an
outstanding season and congratulate them for winning the 2025 South Carolina
Class AAAA State Championship title.

B
e it further resolved
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Ashley Ramirez and
Coach Chris White.
