A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE Chesnee High School girls 
strength TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO 
CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2024 SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS AA STATE 
CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the 
Chesnee girls' strength team of Spartanburg County captured the South Carolina 
Class AA Strength Team Championship title at the female strength team state 
competition, which was held at Blythewood High School on November 9, 2024; and

Whereas, to the delight 
of their growing list of fans, the Chesnee Lady Eagles defeated a competitive field 
of opponents with a score of 13 points. Their nearest challenger was 
Chesterfield High School scoring only 8 points; and

Whereas, Lady Eagles 
Olivia Tolleson, Bixley Koon, and Liana Kreydich, each scored 3 points each; 
teammate Emma Barrington scored 2 points, and Hayden Roberts and Maggie Blanton 
scored 1 point each; and

Whereas, in strength team 
competitions, athletes placing first, second, third, and fourth in their 
respective events are recognized on the podium. Chesnee's podium athletes 
included MerriElizabeth Cable who placed third in her event and Olivia 
Tolleson, Bixley Koon, and Liana Kreydich, who each placed fourth in theirs; 
and

Whereas, the victory 
was made all the sweeter because this win was the first AA Strength Team 
Championship ever offered by the South Carolina High School Strength Coaches 
Association at a state female strength meet; and

Whereas, in a sport 
that requires individual determination, strength, and perseverance, Head Coach 
David Jones and his skilled coaching staff used their own athletic experience 
and training to forge a championship-caliber team and teach these athletes life 
principles that will endure far beyond the mats; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives values the pride and recognition that the Chesnee 
strength team members have brought to their school and their community, and the 
House looks forward to following the team's continued achievements 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 Chesnee High School girls strength team, coaches, and school 
officials for an outstanding season and congratulate them for winning the 2024 
South Carolina Class AA State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this 
resolution be presented to Principal Gerstenacker and Coach David Jones.
