R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Milano High School boys' track team achieved
great distinction by claiming the 2018 Class 2A championship at the
University Interscholastic League Track & Field State Meet; and
WHEREAS, Joining the top high school competitors in Texas at
Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin on May 11 and 12, the Milano Eagles
were paced by their relay squads; the foursome of Ronnie Messer,
Timothy Demeritt, Kyle King, and Devonte Jones captured a gold
medal with a time of 42.45 seconds in the 4x100-meter event, and the
quartet of Mr. Demeritt, Devonte Jones, Kaleb Dodd, and Parker
Jones clocked in at 3 minutes, 23.73 seconds, to take the crown in
the 4x400-meter contest; and
WHEREAS, In individual competition, Mr. Demeritt won gold in
the 400 meters with his time of 48.26 seconds, and Parker Jones won
the 1,600-meters with his time of 4 minutes, 35.75 seconds;
furthermore, Devonte Jones augmented his collection of medals by
winning silver in the 300-meter hurdles and bronze in the long jump;
and
WHEREAS, When the final totals were compiled, the Eagles
finished with 74 points to capture the school's first team state
title in any sport; the victory marked another notable milestone
for head coach David Westbrook, who has helped more than 50 athletes
to qualify for the state meet over the course of his three decades
in guiding the Milano track team; the 2018 squad also benefited from
the support provided by athletic director Wendy King; and
WHEREAS, These talented young Texans distinguished
themselves through their skill, hard work, and enduring commitment
to excellence, and they may indeed reflect with pride on their
extraordinary accomplishments; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Milano High School boys' track
team on winning the 2018 UIL 2A track & field state championship and
extend to all those associated with the team sincere best wishes for
continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Milano Eagles as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
