        CONGRATULATING Lindsey Butler upon the occasion of
        capturing the Girls 800-meter NYSPHSAA Outdoor Track
        and Field Championship on June 7, 2019

  WHEREAS,  Individual  and team championships are highly sought after
in high school sports; this  Legislative  Body  commends  rare  athletic
achievements  and  pays  special  recognition  to  those who pursue such
excellence and become examples for the youth of this great Empire State;
and

  WHEREAS, Athletic competition helps to enhance both  the  moral  and
physical development of young athletes, preparing them for the future by
instilling in them the importance of teamwork, encouraging a standard of
healthy living, and developing a sense of fair play and competition; and

  WHEREAS,  This  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud to congratulate
Lindsey Butler upon  the  occasion  of  capturing  the  Girls  800-meter
NYSPHSAA  Outdoor  Track and Field Championship on Friday, June 7, 2019,
at Middletown High School in Middletown, New York; and

  WHEREAS, In addition to this  monumental  win,  Lindsey  Butler  was
crowned  the  NYSPHSAA  Champion in the Girls 600-meter Indoor Track and
Field Championship on Saturday, March 2, 2019; and

  WHEREAS, Number one seed Lindsey Butler won the Girls 800-meter race
with an outstanding time of 2:06.88,  just  a  second  faster  than  the
runner-up;  her incredibly fast time knocked off a 35-year-old Section 4
record; and

  WHEREAS, Proudly donning the school's colors of black and gold,  her
family, friends, and the community at large loyally and enthusiastically
supported  Lindsey Butler throughout her journey as she ended her season
with an impressive overall record; and

  WHEREAS,  In  a  sport  such  as  track  and  field,  which  demands
endurance,  speed  and agility, Coaches Joe Melanson, Ray Lawson, Andrew
Cartwright, and Kale Wilcox have worked hard to hone the skills of  this
champion,  teaching  this  outstanding  athlete lessons which will prove
invaluable both on and off the track; and

  WHEREAS, Sports competition instills the values of  teamwork,  pride
and  accomplishment,  and Lindsey Butler has clearly made a contribution
to the spirit of excellence which is a tradition  of  her  school;  now,
therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate Lindsey Butler upon the occasion  of  capturing  the  Girls
800-meter  NYSPHSAA Outdoor Track and Field Championship on Friday, June
7, 2019; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That copies of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted  to  Lindsey  Butler,  and Coaches Joe Melanson, Ray Lawson,
Andrew Cartwright, and Kale Wilcox.
