A house RESOLUTION

To recognize and honor Taylor Rivers of River Bluff 
High School upon being named the 2026 High School Solo State Champion at the 
2026 South Carolina Dance Association State Dance Team Championship.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives were pleased to hear that at the 
2026 South Carolina Dance Association (SCDA) State Dance Team Championship, on 
February 21, 2026, in Rock Hill, Taylor Rivers of the River Bluff High School 
Gator Dance Team was named the High School Solo State Champion; and

Whereas, Miss Rivers, a 
freshman on the varsity Gator dance team, competed against over thirty of the 
top soloists in South Carolina. She won with a remarkable score of 280, besting 
second place by 1.5 points. This win is a testament to her hard work and 
dedication. She has put in countless hours of practice to perfect her technique 
while working toward this state championship title. This outstanding 
accomplishment brings honor and distinction to her team, school, and community; 
and

Whereas, the River 
Bluff Gator Dance Team had an impressive performance at the 2026 SCDA State 
Dance Team Championship. The team earned multiple top three finishes in the varsity 
and junior varsity divisions. The team also had all of their soloists place in 
the top ten dancers. This performance is even more impressive as it is only the 
program's second year competing. During last year's SCDA State Championship, 
the Gators had many top five group finishes and five soloists, including the 
Solo State Champion Kylie Vaughan, place in the top ten; and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives value the pride and recognition 
that Taylor Rivers has brought to her team, school, and community. They look 
forward to hearing about her continued achievements in the days to come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, recognize and honor Taylor Rivers of River Bluff High 
School upon being named the 2026 High School Solo State Champion at the 2026 
South Carolina Dance Association State Dance Team Championship.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Taylor Rivers.
