MADAM PRESIDENT:
I offer the following resolution and move its adoption:
A SENATE RESOLUTION congratulating Abraham Hall
on winning the State Championship in Individual Wrestling.
Whereas, With only a minute and eight seconds left in regulation, Abraham Hall scored a takedown against his opponent, and then held for a 3-1 decision and the state title in the heavyweight match of the 74th annual IHSAA individual state wrestling finals;
Whereas, A shattering overtime loss at last year's state
tournament motivated Hall to work as hard as he could to be
the top wrestler in his weight class;
Whereas, Abraham was proven successful in his vow to win
state. In fact, he hasn't been beaten in IHSAA wrestling since
last year's defeat at the state finals. His impressive undefeated
season includes 50 straight wins. Hall has a 90% career win
percentage in overtime;
Whereas, At the close of the state championship tournament, Hall was selected for the Ward E. Brown Mental Attitude Award. This award is named in honor of the IHSAA's fourth commissioner and included a $1,000 scholarship to
Bremen High School, in Hall's name. The award is given based
on the merits of the wrestler's athletic ability, scholarship,
leadership, and the individual's demonstration of positive
mental attitude; and
Whereas, Abraham is ranked eighth in his academic class,
with goals to eventually pursue a law degree. He was also
named All-State for the 2011 football season. Abraham has
accumulated numerous successes this year and presents strong
promise for many future accomplishments: Therefore,
SECTION 1. That the Indiana Senate congratulates Abraham Hall on his state championship wrestling title.
SECTION 2. That the Secretary of the Senate is hereby directed to transmit a copy of this Resolution to Abraham Hall.
