WHEREAS, Delaware has a long, proud tradition in the sport of wrestling; and WHEREAS, on March 4, 2023, Delawares proud tradition reached new heights with the victory of senior Luke Poore of Caravel Academy, who in his final Delaware high school match, the 132-pound final at the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Associations Individual Wrestling Championships, secured his 183 rd victory and became Delawares all-time leader in career high school wrestling victories; and WHEREAS, in that same match, Luke became just the 13 th four-time state champion in the 67-year history of the DIAA Individual Wrestling Championships tournament; and WHEREAS, Luke has competed and placed in national tournaments, including Beast of the East, Escape the Rock, and the National High School Coaches Association High School Nationals; and WHEREAS, Luke was crowned national champion in the NHSCA National Wrestling Championships 2021 High School Nationals Sophomore Division, 120-pound weight class; and WHEREAS, Lukes pinnacles of success in high school wrestling were the culmination of many years of blood, sweat, tears, travel, emotion, and exhaustion; and WHEREAS, from the age of 5, Luke has been committed to wrestling excellence, including at Tyrant Wrestling, Alpha Dogs Wrestling, Caravel Academy, and the Poore family basement; and WHEREAS, Luke developed a signature wrestling move - boots - which the sponsors of this resolution do not understand but do fear by its name and obvious efficacy; and WHEREAS, wrestling is an individual sport on the mat but a team sport off it; and WHEREAS, members of the Poore family all sacrificed in various ways in support of Lukes historic success; and WHEREAS, Billy Poore has traveled with Luke to train and compete in Oklahoma, Michigan, Ohio, and Colorado, among other locations; and WHEREAS, for many years, three to four nights a week, Billy Poore drove over two hours, one-way, to ensure Luke had access to top-level trainers; and WHEREAS, Lukes biggest inspiration is his older brother Nicholas, who is twenty-four years old and has severe Cerebral Palsy; and WHEREAS, although Luke recognizes that winning four state championship titles is considered a tremendous accomplishment, he wishes that everyone could witness what his brother Nicholas accomplishes each and every day; and WHEREAS, Senator Nicole Poore, her daughter Alexis, and many other family members, friends, coaches, and teammates joined together with Billy and Nicholas in supporting and inspiring Luke; and WHEREAS, although the totality of the effort and sacrifice required for Lukes historic wrestling success may in some ways be impossible to put into words and may forever be untold, since 2013 the members and staff of the Delaware Senate have seen the sacrifices Senator Nicole Poore and her family have made in support of Luke; and WHEREAS, the members and staff of the Delaware Senate could not be prouder of the historic wrestling success of Luke Poore, Senator Nicole Poore, and their family. NOW, THEREFORE: BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the 152 nd General Assembly of the State of Delaware that the Senate recognizes and applauds Luke Poore for his historic success in becoming the 13 th four-time state champion in Delaware wrestling history and Delawares all-time leader in career high school wrestling victories.
