A house RESOLUTION

to honor and recognize Elijah Jennings on an amazing 
season and to congratulate him on winning An International Professional Rodeo 
Association World Championship Title and his first Victory at the Professional 
Bull Riders Pendleton whisky Velocity Tour.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives were pleased to hear eighteen-year-old 
Elijah Jennings, of Cleveland, has emerged as one of the most promising young 
bull riders in the sport after an impressive season that led him to winning a 
world championship title with the International Professional Rodeo Association 
at the 56th International Finals Rodeo in January. He then transitioned into 
the professional bull riding tour circuit, having his first career victory at 
the toughest professional development tour in bull riding, the Professional 
Bull Riders Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour; and

Whereas, at the season 
ending championship, the International Professional Rodeo Association's 
International Finals Rodeo, Jennings delivered impressive and consistent 
performances across multiple rounds, besting many of the top competitors from 
across the country, and winning the top bull riding spot in one of the sport's 
most respected seasonal championships with an 84.25-point ride; and

Whereas, he then entered 
the professional bull riding tour circuit, and right away he earned his first 
career victory at the Professional Bull Riders Pendleton Whiskey Velocity Tour stop 
in Van Andel Arena, during the Cooper Tires PBR Grand Rapids event. He had a 
good start, lasting the full eight seconds on his first bull for 85.80 points 
in the second round. Elijah took the lead with the fourth out of the 
Championship Round, with an exceptional 87.60-point ride to reach 173.40 points 
and overtake the current leader, Cole Trivette; and

Whereas, these accomplishments 
are just the beginning for Elijah, who is making his mark in the PBR, at just eighteen 
years old, as an experienced and fearless rider. Many eyes will be on Elijah as 
he goes on throughout the rest of the Professional Bull Rider season in hopes 
of continuing to qualify for higher profile events, such as the PBR Finals in 
May, while gaining status and traction in the bull riding world among a new 
wave of increasingly competitive riders across the United States; and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives value the pride and recognition 
that Elijah Jennings has brought to his community and the State of South 
Carolina with these spectacular victories, and look forward to following his 
future accomplishments. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, honor and recognize Elijah Jennings on an amazing season and 
congratulate him on winning an International Professional Rodeo Association 
World Championship title and his first victory at the Professional Bull Riders 
Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Elijah Jennings.
