achievements and pays special recognition to those who pursue such
excellence and become examples for the youth of this great Empire State;
and

 WHEREAS, Athletic competition helps to enhance both the moral and
physical development of young athletes, preparing them for the future by
instilling in them the importance of teamwork, encouraging a standard of
healthy living, and developing a sense of fair play and competition; and

 WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to congratulate Cella
McLaughlin upon the occasion of capturing the NYSPHSAA Championship in
the Girls 55-meter Hurdles at the Indoor Track & Field Championships at
the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex on Staten Island, New York, on
Saturday, March 8, 2025; and

 WHEREAS, Corning-Painted Post High School junior Cella McLaughlin
took home the NYSPHSAA Girls 55-meter Hurdles Championship with an
outstanding time of 8.03 seconds; and

 WHEREAS, Family members, friends, and the community at large loyally
and enthusiastically supported Cella McLaughlin throughout her journey
as she ended her season with an impressive overall record; and

 WHEREAS, The athletic talent displayed by this young woman is due in
great part to the efforts of Coaches Ray Lawson, Joe Melanson, Tom
Ketchum, and Kale Wilcox, all skilled and inspirational tutors,
respected for their ability to develop potential into excellence; and

 WHEREAS, Sports competition instills the values of teamwork, pride
and accomplishment, and Cella McLaughlin has clearly made a significant
contribution to the spirit of excellence which is a tradition of her
school; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate Cella McLaughlin upon the occasion of capturing the
NYSPHSAA Championship in the Girls 55-meter Hurdles on March 8, 2025;
