Commending the University of Oklahoma's gymnastics team for winning the 
  2005 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Gymnastics 
                             Championship.

Whereas in April, 2005, the University of Oklahoma Sooners claimed their 6th 
        National Collegiate Athletic Association Gymnastics Championship in West 
        Point, New York;
Whereas the title marks the third National Championship for the Sooners in the 
        last four years;
Whereas the Sooners' 2005 championship topped off an impressive season in which 
        they finished 21-2 for the year;
Whereas Sooner head coach Mark Williams was named the 2005 National Collegiate 
        Athletic Association Coach of the Year;
Whereas the Sooners' outstanding 2005 season contributed to an already rich and 
        proud tradition of gymnastics excellence at the University of Oklahoma;
Whereas the amazing accomplishments of the past year reflect the dedication, 
        commitment, and tireless effort of the entire school, from the president 
        to the athletic directors, coaches, athletes, managers, and staff 
        members; and
Whereas the student athletes of the University of Oklahoma gymnastics team, 
        through their exceptional athletic achievements, have not only brought 
        credit to themselves but to their fellow students, their university, and 
        their community: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) commends the University of Oklahoma Sooners for their 
        third National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I 
        Gymnastics Championship in the last four years;
            (2) recognizes the players, coaches, staff, and all who 
        have made the historic successes of the 2005 season possible; 
        and
            (3) directs the House of Representatives Bill Clerk to 
        transmit an enrolled copy of this resolution to the President 
        of the University of Oklahoma, The Honorable David L. Boren, 
        and Coach Mark Williams for appropriate display.
