H.R. No. 2816
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Dario Jackson, a senior at McKinney High School, has
distinguished himself as a member of the Lions track and field team;
and
WHEREAS, With an exceptional performance at the team's 4A
regional meet, Mr. Jackson won the 200-meter race with a time of
21.34 seconds; in so doing, he has earned a place at the University
Interscholastic League 2009 Track and Field State Championships,
where he will vie for the state title in the event; and
WHEREAS, Emerging as a notable athlete in the past two
seasons, Mr. Jackson broke the 38-year-old McKinney school record
for the fastest time in the 200 meters in 2008 and then set a new
mark in that race in 2009; moreover, he narrowly missed out on
qualifying for the state meet last season, when he finished third in
the regional competition; and
WHEREAS, Through his hard work and his determination to reach
the peak of his abilities, Dario Jackson has furthered McKinney
High School's reputation for sports excellence, and he may take
justifiable pride in his accomplishments on the track; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Dario Jackson for his exceptional
performance as a member of the McKinney High School track and field
team and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued success;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Jackson as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
