Senate Resolution No. 54 honors Texan Vincent Hancock for his remarkable achievements at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, where he won a gold medal in the men's skeet shooting event and a silver medal in the skeet mixed team event. This victory marks Hancock's historic fourth gold medal in the men's Olympic skeet competition, making him one of only six athletes to achieve this feat across four different Olympic Games. His outstanding performance included hitting 123 out of 125 shots in the qualifying round and 58 out of 60 in the final, just shy of his own Olympic record.
In addition to his individual success, Hancock, alongside his partner Austen Smith, secured a silver medal in the skeet mixed team event, demonstrating exceptional skill and teamwork. The resolution highlights Hancock's dedication to the sport, inspired by his family, and his contributions as a coach and mentor after serving in the U.S. Army. The Texas Senate extends its congratulations and best wishes for his continued success, recognizing his legacy as one of the top skeet shooters of all time. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for Mr. Hancock as a token of high regard from the Texas Senate.
