 WHEREAS, Individual and team championships are highly sought after
in high school sports; this Legislative Body commends rare athletic
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 the
Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Boys Cross Country Team and Head Coach Chip
Button upon the occasion of capturing the 2025 New York State Class B
Cross Country Championship on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at Queensbury
High School in Queensbury, New York; and

 WHEREAS, To the praise and applause of their excited fans, the
Spartans were able to surmount their opponents in the New York State
Class B Cross Country Meet to procure another state title; and

 WHEREAS, These are not uncharted waters for the Burnt Hills-Ballston
Lake Boys Cross Country Team, who have now won eight of the last nine
New York State Class B Cross Country Team Championships; and

 WHEREAS, Demonstrating their superlative teamwork throughout the
season, the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Boys Cross Country Team also
recorded the program's 25th Section 2 Championship, along with their
13th New York State Championship; and

 WHEREAS, Proudly donning the school's colors of maroon and white,
family, friends, and the community at large loyally supported the
Spartans throughout their journey as the team also won the Suburban
Council Gray Division, finishing with a Suburban Council dual meet
record of 12-1; and

 WHEREAS, In a sport such as Cross Country, which demands speed,
agility, and mental fortitude, Head Coach Chip Button and his skilled
coaching staff worked hard to hone the skills of this championship team,
teaching these outstanding athletes lessons which will prove invaluable
both on and off the course; and

 WHEREAS, The team has embodied the term "scholar-athletes,"
achieving enviable success in the classroom with a team wide grade point
average of 95.6 percent; and

 WHEREAS, Coach Chip Button and all of the outstanding athletes on
the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Boys Cross Country Team have clearly

utilized dedication, determination and teamwork in providing a lasting
contribution to the spirit of excellence which is a tradition of their
school; now, therefore, be it

Country Team: Jackson Cooper, Caden Flores, Nolan Gillooley, Liam
