A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO CONGRATULATE THE DORMAN HIGH SCHOOL BOYS TRACK TEAM FOR WINNING THE 2021 CLASS AAAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE AND TO APPLAUD THESE FINE ATHLETES AND THEIR COACHES ON AN IMPRESSIVE SEASON.
Whereas, propelled by the previous week's qualifier and a hot start at the title competition, the Dorman High School boys track team sealed a 62-56 victory over Northwestern to capture the 2021 Class AAAAA Track & Field State Championship, held May 21-22, 2021, at Columbia's Spring Valley and Lower Richland high schools; and
Whereas, Chance Black and J.J. Faulk picked up two gold medals for the Cavaliers, with Black winning the triple jump and Faulk taking first place in the shot put. While the Cavaliers didn't rack up any 10-point finishes on the track, they did more than enough. The 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams both finished as runner-up, while the 4x800 relay team was fifth. Cam Eubanks was third in the 400 hurdles, Bryson Miller finished fourth in the 400, Adrian Wilmot and Davison Wright finished sixth in the 400 and 100, respectively, and Ty Nelson had that crucial seventh in the 3200; and
Whereas, Dorman had eight different individual performers score points, with Wright adding a seventh place in the long jump as the only Cavalier to place in two individual events. Sam Wonjamuna was Dorman's other scorer, finishing eighth in the javelin; and
Whereas, in the 200, though, Dorman's runner pulled both hamstrings and couldn't finish. That tightened things up considerably and necessitated Miller's running with a wrapped double blister and the strong response from the 4x400 team; and
Whereas, the victory is especially sweet for Dorman, the preseason favorite last year before the track season was wiped out by COVID-19; and
Whereas, in a sport that demands speed, precision, and stamina, Head Coach Jeff Johns maximized his own skills and experience to produce a championship-caliber team and teach his athletes lessons that will stand them in good stead throughout their lives. In so doing, he was ably supported by a stellar staff of assistant coaches; and
Whereas, appreciating the pride and recognition that the members of the Dorman boys track team have brought to their school and community, the South Carolina House of Representatives looks forward to hearing of their continued accomplishments in the days ahead. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate the Dorman High School boys track team for winning the 2021 Class AAAAA State Championship title and applaud these fine athletes and their coaches on an impressive season.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Bryant Roberson and Coach Jeff Johns of Dorman High School.
