H.R. No. 1101

R E S O L U T I O N

WHEREAS, Taylor Nunez of Randolph High School in Universal

City won four gold medals at the 2025 University Interscholastic

League Track & Field State Meet to close out her spectacular career

as the most decorated athlete in Texas high school track history;

and

WHEREAS, On May 1, Ms. Nunez joined the other top 3A

competitors at Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin; starting her day in

thrilling fashion, she claimed her fourth straight gold medal in

the long jump, breaking her own record with a leap of 20 feet, 9.5

inches; she continued to excel in the running events, eclipsing her

previous 3A mark with a winning time of 11.22 seconds in the 100

meters and clocking in at 22.76 seconds in the 200-meter race to

capture the 15th gold medal of her career; with that effort, she

established the gold-medal standard for all male and female track

athletes in the state; and

WHEREAS, In the final event of the night, Ms. Nunez further

contributed to Randolph High's superb showing by anchoring the

4x400-meter relay squad; teaming with Jaela Smith, Sophia Bendet,

and Grace Kistler, she took the baton for the last time at the state

meet, bringing home the quartet's victory with a blistering time of

3 minutes, 47.72 seconds, for a 3A record and her 16th gold medal;

remarkably, Ms. Nunez completed a perfect 16-for-16 run of gold

medals in UIL state competition, and the Ro-Hawks earned their

fourth consecutive team title with their overall performance; and

WHEREAS, Ms. Nunez has signed a letter of intent to compete

in track at Texas A&M University; this accomplished young athlete

is continuing a family tradition with her success in the sport; her

mother, Tameka Nunez, was a seven-time All-American while competing

for The University of Texas at San Antonio under her maiden name,

Tameka Roberts; and

WHEREAS, Demonstrating exceptional talent, dedication, and

perseverance, Taylor Nunez has cemented her place in the pantheon

of exceptional track athletes in the Lone Star State, and she is

poised for further success as she looks ahead to her collegiate

athletic career; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas

Legislature hereby congratulate Taylor Nunez on winning four gold

medals at the 2025 UIL Track & Field State Meet and extend to her

sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be

prepared for Ms. Nunez as an expression of high regard by the Texas

House of Representatives.
