College Nationals; and
WHEREAS, Joining other top squads from throughout the country
in Daytona Beach, Florida, from April 5 through 9, the Tigers
delivered an exceptional performance; competing in the Cheer Spirit

preliminary round and went on to triumph in the final round with a
total event score of 95.5875, outdistancing its nearest competitor
by a margin of nearly 11 points; and

championships, and their success is sure to inspire countless young
performers across the nation; and
WHEREAS, The TSU cheerleaders benefit from the able
leadership of head coach Shontrese Comeaux, who has made success at
nationals a priority for the team; under her guidance, the Tigers
have devoted themselves to building their skills and refining their
routines, with valuable contributions being made by each member of
the roster; and
WHEREAS, Winning a national championship represents the
culmination of countless hours of training and an unwavering
commitment to excellence, and the Texas Southern cheerleaders are a
source of great pride to the entire university community; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature
