A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGniZE AND HONOR THE WILSON HALL GIRLS TRACK 
AND FIELD TEAM AND their COACHES ON AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE 
THEM ON WINNING THE 2025 SOUTH CAROLINA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL ASSOCIATION DIVISION 
I STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives was pleased to learn that the Wilson Hall 
girls track and field team took home the win at the 2025 South Carolina 
Independent School Association (SCISA) Division I State Championship meet held May 
3-5 at Ben Lippen School in Columbia; and

Whereas, the Wilson 
Hall girls were in first place on Saturday when inclement weather created 
delays causing coaches to agree to delay and pick up with the second heat of 
the girls 4x100 the following Monday. The Lady Barons knew they had to keep 
their momentum up forty-eight hours later to finish strong, maintain that first-place 
spot, and claim the state title; and

Whereas, on Monday the 
Lady Barons continued their impressive streak ending with 149 points, 
outscoring second place Porter-Gaud School by nineteen points. Wilson Hall's 
only individual champion was Molly Jones winning the 400-meter hurdles with a 
time of 1:05.63. The 4x400-meter relay team, consisting of Molly Jones, Abby 
Bradley, Bailey Flemming, and Ella Still, also won with a finishing time of 4:04.93, 
setting a school record. The Lady Barons had six second-place finishes and scored 
points in twenty-four other events, all helping to secure their first-place 
overall position; and

Whereas, in a sport 
that demands mental and physical strength, Head Coach Rip Ripley and his 
extraordinary staff utilized their own experiences and passion for the sport to 
mold a championship-caliber team. The training and guidance they have provided 
will remain invaluable, shaping the runners into well-rounded individuals whose 
growth extends far beyond the track and into every aspect of their lives; and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House value the pride and recognition that the Wilson Hall 
girls track and field runners have brought to their school and their community. 
They look forward to following the Lady Barons and celebrating their future 
achievements. 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 Wilson Hall girls track and field 
team and their coaches on an outstanding season and congratulate them on 
winning the 2025 South Carolina Independent School Association Division I State 
Championship.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Wilson Hall Head of School Brent 
Kaneft and Head Coach Rip Ripley.
