                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PETE SESSIONS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 10, 2008

  Mr. SESSIONS. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise 
today to congratulate the Highland Park Girls Swimming and Diving Team 
on winning the title of UIL 4A State Champions.
  In his first year coaching at Highland Park, Jess Cole led the girls 
to their eighth consecutive win in the UIL Texas State Championship on 
Saturday, February 23, 2008. Those who competed at the State meet 
include Allison Arnold, Megan Arnold, Hannah Ferrin, Bolton Harris, 
Delaney Rolfe, Katy Streepey, Katy Tye, and Alex Weber. Their continued 
success can be attributed to their hard work, dedication, passion for 
swimming, and a strong sense of team spirit. In addition to claiming 
the title of State Champions, the Highland Park Girls Swimming and 
Diving Team now holds the longest State record in UIL swimming and 
diving, matching Class A Booker's record in girls golf as the longest 
in Texas high school sports since recordkeeping began in 1910.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my esteemed colleagues to join me in 
congratulating the members of the Highland Park Girls Swimming and 
Diving Team for their well-deserved victory and wish them all the best 
in future endeavors.

                          ____________________
