This demanding regimen has paid handsome dividends, for he certainly has set an example for others to emulate; and

WHEREAS, In an educational system that seeks to teach tomorrow’s leaders the fundamentals of self-reliance and the rewards of individual effort, high school athletics have become a valuable tool. We are proud to salute Brice Fuller’s athletic achievement, and know the skills and dedication he has demonstrated as a cross country runner will aid him in facing challenges; therefore be it

RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, congratulate Brice Fuller as the 2025 Division III State Boys Cross Country Champion and look with optimism to the years ahead; and be it further
