WHEREAS, the girls' track and field team from Patrick Henry High School in Washington County won the 1996 Virginia High School League Group A state championship; and

WHEREAS, with their consistently strong performance throughout the 1996 season, the Patrick Henry girls brought home to Washington County the first state title in the outstanding 21-year career of Head Coach Becky Selfe; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the General Assembly salute the Patrick Henry High School girls' track and field team on its well-earned state championship; and, be it
