No. R-291. House concurrent resolution congratulating the 2023 Hartford High School Hurricanes Division II championship boys’ golf team.
(H.C.R.225)
Offered by: Representatives Christie of Hartford and Cole of Hartford Offered by: Senators Clarkson, McCormack, and White Whereas, this past fall, Vermont’s best high school golfers gathered at the soggy golf course at the Basin Harbor Club in Vergennes for the exciting 2023 State championship tournament, and Whereas, among the boys’ teams in Division II, the Hartford Hurricanes had already achieved notoriety in 2023 having previously won the Southern Vermont League championship, the Division II sectionals, and the Battenkill Cup, and Whereas, Hartford achieved these milestones despite being forced to practice at
alternative courses in Woodstock and Windsor after the July 2023 flood temporarily closed Quechee’s Highland Course, their usual home base, and Whereas, although disappointed that the flood derailed their planned hosting of the 2023
State championship, the Hurricanes set high goals, including winning the Division II title,
and they resoundingly met this goal, finishing 16 shots ahead of the second-place People’s Academy Team, and Whereas, Hurricanes Jaden Poirier, Zach Johnson, Sean Dunton, Matthew Tsouknakis,
Rowan Irvine, Thomas Thorburn, and Teelin Nowlan were skilled at their long shots and putting through the 2023 season, and Whereas, Head Coach Erin Stevens and assistant coaches Jay Zanleoni and Justin Barwood gave the team great encouragement, now therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives:
That the General Assembly congratulates the 2023 Hartford High School Hurricanes Division II championship boys’ golf team, and be it further Resolved: That the Secretary of State be directed to send a copy of this resolution to
Hartford High School.
