A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND 
APPLAUD THE FORT MILL HIGH SCHOOL BOYS CROSS COUNTRY TEAM ON CAPTURING THE 2025 
CLASS AAAAA, DIVISION 2 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE AND TO CONGRATULATE THESE 
ATHLETES AND THEIR COACHES ON AN OUTSTANDING SEASON.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives was pleased to learn that on Saturday, 
November 15, 2025, at Aiken Steeplechase, York County's Fort Mill High School 
boys cross country team took home their second consecutive Class AAAAA, 
Division 2 State Championship title; and

Whereas, the Fort Mill 
High School boys cross country team enjoyed a banner year, much to the delight 
of their fans and the disappointment of their rivals. In ultimate testimony to 
their achievements, the team became back-to-back state champs; and

Whereas, in a 48-point performance 
that enabled the Yellow Jackets to pack up hardware only champions get to take 
home, Fort Mill topped second-place Chapin; and

Whereas, the Yellow 
Jackets had four top ten runners, including seniors Finn Leckrone, who finished 
second overall with a time of 15:51:34, and Connor Demmerle, who finished in 
fourth place clocking a time of 16:05:11. Sophomore Owen Ware placed fifth with 
a time of 16:10:25, and junior Hudson Haley landed in seventh place crossing 
the finish line at 16:17:03; and

Whereas, in a sport 
that demands physical and mental strength, Coach Lee Whitaker, along with his skilled 
coaching staff, utilized their own experiences and passion for the sport to 
mold a championship-caliber team. The lessons they have taught these young 
athletes will continue to prove invaluable on and off the course for the rest 
of their athletic careers, as well as throughout their lives; and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the pride and 
recognition the Fort Mill High School boys cross country team have brought to 
their school and community and they look forward to following the Yellow 
Jackets' future successes 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 applaud the Fort Mill High School boys cross country 
team on capturing the Class AAAAA, Division 2 State Championship title and 
congratulate these athletes and their coaches on an outstanding season.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Zachary D. Beam and 
Coach Lee Whitaker.
