R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, David Caddie of Livingston High School
distinguished himself with his powerlifting achievements during
2015, earning a trip to the Texas High School Powerlifting
Association State Championships; and
WHEREAS, In order to qualify for state, an athlete must prove
his abilities at the regional meet by finishing in first or second
place or by lifting a specified total weight; Mr. Caddie made a
strong showing at the Region 4 Division 1 competition held at Taylor
High School in Katy on March 7; he reached the qualifying total for
the 198-pound class by hoisting 535 pounds in the squat, 305 in the
bench press, and 585 in the deadlift for a total of 1,425 pounds;
and
WHEREAS, At the THSPA State Championships, which took place
in Abilene on March 28, Mr. Caddie bettered his regional totals by
lifting a combined weight of 1,460 pounds to finish in 12th place;
that performance closed out his junior year of competition and
provides a strong foundation for further achievements in 2016; and
WHEREAS, Demonstrating hard work and an unwavering
determination to achieve his goals, this talented student-athlete
has claimed a place among the elite young weight lifters in the Lone
Star State, and he may reflect with pride on his outstanding
accomplishment; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate David Caddie on qualifying for the
Texas High School Powerlifting Association State Championships 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. Caddie as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
