Assembly Resolution No. 201

BY: M. of A. Walsh

 CONGRATULATING Ava Guilmette of Shenendehowa High
 School upon the occasion of capturing the 2025
 NYSPHSAA Girls Wrestling Championship title in the
 145-pound Division on February 27, 2025

 WHEREAS, Excellence and success in competitive sports can be
achieved only through strenuous practice, team play, and team spirit,
nurtured by dedicated coaching and strategic planning; and

 WHEREAS, Athletic competition enhances the moral and physical
development of the young people of this State, preparing them for the
future by instilling in them the value of teamwork, encouraging a
standard of healthy living, imparting a desire for success, and
developing a sense of fair play and competition; and

 WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to congratulate Ava
Guilmette of Shenendehowa High School upon the occasion of capturing the
2025 NYSPHSAA Girls Wrestling Championship title in the 145-pound
Division at the MVP Arena in Albany, New York, on Thursday, February 27,
2025; and

 WHEREAS, To the praise and applause of her excited fans,
number-one-seeded Ava Guilmette captured the championship as she pinned
Minisink Valley's two-seed 35 seconds into the bout for the victory; and

 WHEREAS, This win capped an impressive season for Ava Guilmette, who
also won the 2025 Eastern States Girls Wrestling Championship title in
the 145-pound Division, with a pin over her opponent at 1 minute, 16
seconds of the first period at the Impact Athletic Center in the Town of
Halfmoon on Saturday, January 11, 2025; and

 WHEREAS, Prior to entering high school, Ava Guilmette enjoyed a
decorated wrestling career, winning six National Championships, along
with a Tallin Open title (2023) and a Pan-American title (2024); and

 WHEREAS, For her many achievements, Ava Guilmette has garnered a
top-25 national ranking in her weight class, according to USA Wrestling,
FloWrestling, and the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum; and

 WHEREAS, The athletic talent displayed by this scholar-athlete is
due, in great part, to the efforts of a great team of coaches and
skilled and inspirational tutors who are respected for their ability to
develop potential into excellence; and

 WHEREAS, In a sport, such as wrestling, which demands athletic
prowess, speed, and agility, Head Coach, Dan Palmerino, and Assistant
Coach, Antonio Lomascolo, worked hard to hone the skills of this
champion, teaching this outstanding athlete lessons which will prove
invaluable both on and off the mat; and

 WHEREAS, In light of her recent accomplishments, Ava Guilmette was
recognized as Girls' Sports Athlete of the Week for the first week of
March 2025 by the Times Union newspaper; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate Ava Guilmette of Shenendehowa High School upon the occasion
of capturing the 2025 NYSPHSAA Girls Wrestling Championship title in the
145-pound Division on February 27, 2025; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Ava Guilmette; Head Coach, Dan Palmerino; Assistant
Coach, Antonio Lomascolo; Athletic Director, Christopher Culnan;
Principal, Ron Agostinoni; and School Superintendent, Dr. L. Oliver
Robinson.
