Her dedication and hard work have not only established her as a remarkable athlete but also as a role model for her peers.
The resolution highlights Rileigh's accomplishments and the pride she brings to her family, teammates, coaches, school, and community. It acknowledges the significant role of athletic competition in the education of young people and expresses confidence that the skills and experiences she has gained will serve her well in the future. The Senate extends its best wishes to Rileigh and plans to transmit a copy of the resolution to her as a formal recognition of her achievements.
