H.R. No. 196 is a resolution congratulating the Austin County 4-H Livestock Quiz Bowl team for their remarkable achievement of winning first place at the Western National Roundup held in Denver, Colorado, on January 9, 2025. The team, composed of juniors from Bellville High School, had previously excelled in various competitions, including securing first place at the Texas 4-H Roundup after advancing from the District 11 4-H Spring Spectacular. Their journey to the national championship included defeating teams from Idaho, Colorado, Alaska, and Minnesota, and ultimately triumphing over Colorado again in the semifinals.

The resolution highlights the individual accomplishments of team members, including team captain Katelyn Krenek, who was recognized as the fourth High Point Individual overall, and Madilyn McCullough, who achieved the title of Champion High Point Individual with a record-breaking score of 32 points. The team, which also included members Darcy Luedke and Katie Schumann, was guided by coaches Janet and Rodney Melnar. The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' admiration for the team's dedication and hard work in mastering livestock-related topics and extends best wishes for their future endeavors. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of recognition.
