Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is 
pleased to learn that Thadeus "Thad" Gerstenacker of Chesnee High School won 
the 2025 South Carolina High School League Class AA/A individual wrestling 
state championship in his weight class; and

Whereas, Thad Gerstenacker has had an outstanding junior 
year as a student athlete, with a 2025 season record of 34-2, culminating in 
the state title, all the while maintaining a grade point average of 4.970 and 
finding time to participate in the school orchestra; and

Whereas, with over 100 
career wrestling wins to date, his journey to the 2025 state crown included, 
among other accolades, the 2025 South Carolina High School League Class AA/A 
138 Upper State Champion, the 2025 South Carolina High School League All-Region 
1AA Champion, the 2025 Spartanburg County Champion, and the 2024 Southern Slam 
Medalist. Part of Thad's success lies in his strong commitment and dedication 
to his sport; and

Whereas, fully 
supporting this fine young athlete in his determination to excel are the 
members of Chesnee's outstanding wrestling staff led by Head Coach Jonathon 
Rentz. Making the win all the more exciting, his brother, Quinton, also a 
junior, won the state championship in his weight class; and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House take great pleasure in applauding wrestler Thad 
Gerstenacker and look forward to hearing of his continued accomplishments in 
the years ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of 
Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Thadeus Gerstenacker of 
Chesnee High School's wrestling team on a tremendous season and honor him for 
winning the 2025 South Carolina High School League Class AA/A Individual State Championship
