                            Senator DeMora
                       A RESOLUTION
            Honoring Carrie Furbee as a 2024 Division II State
              Champion in swimming.
     WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 135th General Assembly     1
of Ohio are pleased to pay tribute to Carrie Furbee on winning the        2
2024 Division II State Championship titles in the 50- and 100-yard        3
freestyle events; and                                                     4
     WHEREAS, Carrie Furbee’s outstanding ability and spirited drive,     5
as well as her quickness and tenacity, have distinguished her as a        6
superior athlete and a standout member of the Grandview Heights High      7
School girls swim team. At this year’s Division II State meet, she        8
placed first in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 23.02 and the        9
100-yard freestyle with a time of 50.06, and she has gained the           10
respect and admiration of all those who have witnessed her in action;     11
and                                                                       12
     WHEREAS, Few sports embody the spirit of individual accomplishment   13
more than swimming, and athletes such as Carrie Furbee exemplify the      14
qualities necessary for competition in any sport, including               15
discipline, agility, conditioning, and focus. Indeed, throughout long     16
hours of practice and competition, she has conscientiously applied        17
herself to the quest for excellence as an athlete, and she is             18
deserving of commendation for her tremendous efforts; and                 19
     WHEREAS, In an educational system that seeks to teach the future     20
leaders of our state and nation the fundamentals of self-reliance and     21
the rewards of individual effort, athletic competition has become a       22
valuable educational tool. Through her participation in sports, Carrie    23
Furbee has learned lessons of perseverance, hard work, and fair and       24
honest competition that will undoubtedly be of great benefit to her       25
throughout her lifetime; therefore be it                                  26
S. R. No. 344                                                     Page 2
