TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE Heathwood Hall Episcopal 
School boys track and field TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR AN 
OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2025 SOUTH CAROLINA 
Independent School Association Division 1 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the 
Heathwood Hall boys track and field team of Richland County captured the South 
Carolina Independent School Association Division 1 State Championship title at 
the state meet held at Ben Lippen in Columbia on May 5, 2025; and

Whereas, to the delight 
of their exuberant fans, the Heathwood Highlanders defeated a fine, competitive 
field of teams with a score of 129, defeating their nearest opponent, Porter-Gaud, 
by forty points; and

Whereas, the state 
meet, which began on Saturday, was interrupted due to a weather delay, and was 
completed on Monday with the Highlanders winning the championship; and 

Whereas, Highlander 
Jack Wilcox won the 800m and 1,600m and came in second in the 3,200m. Teammate Edgar 
Jackson was second in the shot put, and Onis Konanbanny took second place in 
long jump. The Heathwood 4x400 relay team came in second; and

Whereas, in a sport 
that requires strength, speed and stamina, Head Coach Tony Brown and his skilled 
coaching staff capitalized on their own athletic experience and training to 
produce a championship-caliber team and teach these athletes life principles 
that will endure beyond the track and field; and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate the pride and 
recognition that the Heathwood boys track and field team have brought to their 
school and their community, and the members look forward to following their 
future success in the days ahead. 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 the Heathwood Hall Episcopal School boys track and field team, 
coaches, and school officials for an outstanding season and congratulate them 
for winning the 2025 South Carolina Independent School Association Division 1 State 
Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this 
resolution be presented to Head of Upper School George Scouten and Coach Tony 
Brown.
