H.R. No. 1299
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Adela Garcia of Austin won her seventh Ms. Fitness
Olympia competition in September 2012, continuing her
record-setting dominance in that prestigious bodybuilding contest;
and
WHEREAS, Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in Puerto
Rico, Ms. Garcia entered her first fitness competition in 1995;
since then, she has become one of the most prominent female athletes
in the sport, claiming 15 victories, including five Fitness
International titles; she was especially impressive in 2006, when
she won the "grand slam" of fitness by taking first place in the
Show of Strength as well as the Ms. Fitness Olympia and Fitness
International events; and
WHEREAS, In addition to her work on the competitive stage,
Ms. Garcia operates O.F.F. (Overcome Fitness Fears) Challenge,
which provides fitness and health training and has mentored a
number of aspiring fitness athletes; and
WHEREAS, Capturing the Ms. Fitness Olympia title is an
exceptional achievement that many strive to attain but few
accomplish, and Ms. Garcia's seventh victory in that event has
furthered her reputation as one of the sport's most impressive
performers; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Adela Garcia on winning the 2012
Ms. Fitness Olympia competition and extend to her sincere best
wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Ms. Garcia as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
