The House concurrent resolution congratulates the Thetford Academy Panthers boys indoor track and field team for winning their second consecutive Division II championship. Despite being primarily a Division III varsity sports school, the Panthers have excelled in Division II competition, showcasing their skills and determination. In 2026, they achieved remarkable individual performances, including first-place finishes in events such as the 55-meter dash, 300-meter run, high jump, long jump, and weight throw, ultimately securing the championship by narrowly outscoring their rival, U-32.
The resolution acknowledges the hard work and dedication of the athletes, including team members and coaches, and highlights the challenges faced by Vermont indoor varsity track and field athletes due to limited facilities for state championship meets. The General Assembly expresses its pride in the team's accomplishments and directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to Thetford Academy, celebrating their achievement in the sport.
