Congratulating Jordan Jones of Kingwood High School on winning two swimming titles at the 2011 UIL 5A State Meet.

Impact

While HR1317 is primarily a recognition resolution rather than a legislative bill that amends or affects state law directly, it symbolizes the importance of community support for student-athletes. Such recognitions can inspire other students, promote participation in sports, and enhance school spirit, reflecting positively on educational institutions and fostering a culture of excellence.

Summary

HR1317 is a resolution congratulating Jordan Jones, a student from Kingwood High School, for his remarkable achievements at the UIL 5A State Meet. The resolution highlights Mr. Jones's success in winning two individual swimming titles, specifically in the 500-yard freestyle and the 100-yard breaststroke. Both feats demonstrate his exceptional talent and dedication to the sport, establishing him as an outstanding athlete among his peers.

Sentiment

The sentiment surrounding HR1317 is overwhelmingly positive, as it not only acknowledges individual achievement but also serves to uplift the Kingwood High School and local community. There is a collective sense of pride in Mr. Jones's accomplishments, which are typically celebrated as milestones for high school athletes achieving state-level honors.

Contention

Given the nature of HR1317 as a resolution honoring a student athlete, there are limited points of contention associated with it. Resolutions of this kind are generally well-received and uncontroversial, reflecting community values of recognition and support for young talents. The bill does not provoke significant debate, as it is focused on athlete achievements rather than policy changes.
