CONGRATULATIONS TO CARROLL SENIOR HIGH AND CARROLL HIGH SCHOOL ON THEIR 
            5A GIRLS STATE CROSS COUNTRY STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. KENNY MARCHANT

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 4, 2007

  Mr. MARCHANT. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride and pleasure that 
I rise to honor the Carroll Senior High and Carroll High School's Lady 
Dragon Cross Country Team on their 2007 5A State Championship.
  This is the Lady Dragon's first place win for the third consecutive 
year. The team learned days after the November 17th State 5A meet that 
they finished in first place. They were originally awarded second, 
following a tie breaker, but the University Interscholastic League 
later confirmed an error in the place results and awarded the Lady 
Dragon's with the top finish.
  The Lady Dragon State Cross Country consists of 7 tremendous young 
women, including Seniors Taylor Stephens and Lauren Hill; Juniors Tara 
Upshaw, Lucia Xiong, Caitlin Gilbert and Jessica Ferber; and Sophomore 
Jessica Harper. They are coached by Robert Ondrasek.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the Lady Dragon's on 
a great season and their State Championship. The Carroll Senior High 
School and the Carroll High School deserve public recognition for this 
great honor and I extend my congratulations to the outstanding runners 
and coaching staff.
