A house RESOLUTION

TO SALUTE THE WILSON HALL BOYS 
CROSS COUNTRY TEAM ON CAPTURING THE 2024 SOUTH CAROLINA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL 
ASSOCIATION CLASS 4A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE AND TO CONGRATULATE THE TEAM'S 
COACHES AND RUNNERS ON A SUPERLATIVE SEASON.

Whereas, the air on your face and the ground under your feet feel 
different when you reach the top of the mountain. The Wilson Hall Barons found 
that out on Saturday, October 26, 2024, when they bested all comers to claim 
the South Carolina Independent School Association (SCISA) Class 4A State 
Championship in boys cross country; and

Whereas, competing on the campus of Columbia's Heathwood Hall, Wilson 
Hall edged out John Paul II by one point to nail the state title; and

Whereas, in a field that demands discipline, practice, and focused 
energy, Head Coach Reid Schwartz and his fine staff capitalized on their own 
athletic skills to mold a championship team and teach their runners lessons 
that will prove invaluable throughout life, both on and off the course; and

Whereas, making a sweet victory even sweeter, two top-ten runners 
from Wilson Hall at the title meet were tapped for All-State, Caulder 
Williamson (second) and Trip Hunt (eighth). Others among the Barons' top five 
scorers were Abel Ayres (eleventh), Ben Rabon (seventeenth), and Gavin Getz 
(thirty-third). In addition, Caulder Williamson, who set a new school record at 
the title meet, was voted Hines Furniture Athlete of the Week by the readers of 
The Sumter Item; and

Whereas, the members of the Wilson Hall boys cross country team have 
given their school and community reason to be proud of their accomplishments, 
and the House takes great pleasure in adding its collective voice to the 
encomiums flowing in to this outstanding group of young athletes. Go, Barons! 
Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South 
Carolina House of Representatives, by this 
resolution, salute the Wilson Hall boys cross country team on capturing the 
2024 South Carolina Independent School Association Class 4A State Championship 
title and congratulate the team's coaches and runners on a superlative season.

Be it further resolved that a copy 
of this resolution be presented to Head of School Brent C. Kaneft and Head 
Coach Reid Schwartz of Wilson Hall.
