Whereas, the South

and female strength teams for winning the state titles from the women's state 
meet held on November 8, 2025, and the men's state meet held on March 24, 2026; 
and

Whereas, to the cheers 
of their exuberant fans, the York Comprehensive High School team defeated 
competitive comers from around the State to win their respective state trophies; 
and

Whereas, competing in 
their respective weight classes, athletes are given scores based on their 
performance in three events: back squat, bench press, and standing broad jump. 
At the conclusion of each meet, the athletes are ranked by their performance, 
and the athlete with the best scores is crowned state champion. Athletes 
placing in the top six also contribute points to their team's final score; and

Whereas, York Comprehensive 
High School took thirty female athletes and fourteen male athletes to compete 
at the two state meets. At the women's state meet, York Comprehensive set a 
record with nine All-State athletes, two state champions and twelve All-State 
finishers. At the men's state meet, York had one state champion and three 
All-State finishers; and

Whereas, York's 
individual state female champions were Alyvia "AC" Lingerfelt in the 140-pound 
class and Lindsey Morrison in the 150-pound class; and

Whereas, York's 
All-State female athletes included Ariel Matheson in the 110-pound class, 
Kynleigh Liming in the 110-pound class, Dani Hagen in the 130-pound class, 
Ravynn Washington in the 130-pound class, Natalie Dover in the 140-pound class, 
Briley Comer in the 160-pound class, and Caroline Clark in the 170-pound class; 
and

Whereas, York's male 
strength athletes also made their mark. Eli Clinton in the 190-pound class was 
named an individual state champion and made a state record with a 10-foot 
5.5-inch broad jump, 570-pound back squat, and 915-pound total. J. J. Hagen in 
the 140-pound class, Collin Lowry in the 140-pound class, and Tyreese French in 
the Unlimited class were named All State Athletes; and

Whereas, the York 
Comprehensive High School male and female strength teams have flourished under 
the leadership and guidance of Head Coach Jason Layman and his skilled coaching 
staff, Danelle Hagen, Nathan Green, Dean Boyd, and Ryanne Mitchell; and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina Senate appreciate the pride and recognition that the York 
Comprehensive High School male and female strength teams have brought to their 
school and community and look forward to a future filled with further 
accomplishments by the teams and their talented athletes. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the 
South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, 
congratulate the York Comprehensive High School male and female strength teams, 
coaches, and school officials on an outstanding season and honor them for 
winning the 2025-2026 South Carolina class AAAA state championships.
