The bill, H. 4872, is a House Resolution recognizing and honoring the Thomas Sumter Academy boys cross country team for their remarkable achievement in winning the 2025 South Carolina Independent School Association (SCISA) 3A Cross Country State Championship. This victory marks the first state title in the program's history, following a second-place finish the previous year. The team demonstrated exceptional performance, with all seven runners finishing in the top twenty-two and setting personal records, ultimately tying with Spartanburg Christian but winning based on the performance of their sixth runner, eighth grader Connor Van Osterom.

The resolution highlights the team's composition, which is primarily made up of underclassmen, and commends the coaching staff, led by Head Coach Rob Coursey, for their dedication and ability to cultivate a championship-caliber team. The members of the South Carolina House of Representatives express their pride in the accomplishments of the Thomas Sumter boys cross country team and look forward to their future successes. A copy of the resolution will be presented to Head of School Benjamin Herod and Coach Coursey.
