A RESOLUTION
Honoring Dakota Hessoun as a 2024 SCTP National Champion.
WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 135th General Assembly 1
of Ohio are pleased to commend Dakota Hessoun on placing first at the 2
2024 Scholastic Clay Target Program National Team Championship; and 3
WHEREAS, Dakota Hessoun is deserving of recognition for the 4
remarkable athletic gifts and indomitable spirit that she so amply 5
displayed at this year’s SCTP National Team Championship. A senior at 6
North Ridgeville High School and a member of the Lorain County Youth 7
Trap Team, she placed first in the ladies senior/varsity division of 8
the 200 target singles trap event with a score of 198, and 9
understandably, the talent and skill that she has exhibited have 10
earned her many admirers; and 11
WHEREAS, Few sports embody the spirit of individual accomplishment 12
more than competitive shooting, and Dakota Hessoun has exemplified all 13
the qualities necessary for excellence in any sport, including 14
discipline, patience, and focus. Indeed, throughout long hours of 15
practice and competition, she has consistently demonstrated the talent 16
and motivation that are the hallmarks of a true champion; and 17
WHEREAS, Dakota Hessoun has conscientiously applied herself to 18
developing her marksmanship skill, training diligently in order to 19
ensure peak conditioning. Time and again, she has risen to the 20
occasion, maintaining her morale, composure, and good sportsmanship, 21
and she has gained the respect of even her most determined rivals. 22
Clearly, her enthusiastic involvement in trapshooting has enabled her 23
to learn much about dedication and leadership, and in the process, her 24
exceptional prowess has made her family and friends very proud; 25
therefore be it 26
