Honoring The Ohio State University synchronized swimming team on winning the 2022 U.S. Collegiate National Championship.

WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 134th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to congratulate The Ohio State University synchronized swimming team as the 2022 U.S. Collegiate National Champion; and

WHEREAS, A remarkable group of young athletes, the members of The Ohio State University synchronized swimming team have combined talent and competitive spirit with the highest ideals of good sportsmanship to establish themselves as a truly exceptional squad. With great diligence, the Buckeyes applied themselves to the quest for excellence in the pool, and consequently, they amassed 102 points to win this year’s U.S. Collegiate National Championship, the program’s thirty-third overall national title; and

WHEREAS, The Buckeyes’ achievements and leadership are a justifiable source of pride and a fine reflection on the team members, their families, their school, their hometowns, and their coach, Holly Vargo-Brown. The success of any athletic endeavor depends largely on the ability of the coach to provide both guidance and inspiration, and in leading her squad to victory, Coach Vargo-Brown has not only helped each athlete to develop her talents to the fullest but also instilled in each a valuable sense of determination, perseverance, and camaraderie; and

WHEREAS, With athletic competition playing such an important role in the total education of our young people, we are extremely pleased to pay tribute to the exemplary athletes and outstanding coach of The Ohio State University synchronized swimming team for a job well done. The maturity and experience the members have gained through their participation in sports will greatly aid them in meeting the challenges of the future; therefore be it

RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 134th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend The Ohio State University synchronized swimming team as the 2022 U.S. Collegiate National Champion and extend best wishes for ongoing success; and be it further

RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to The Ohio State University synchronized swimming team.
