Last action March 27, 2025 · House Read and Adopted
A Georgia House resolution honors Vincent Nnanna of Alpharetta High School for winning the 2024 GHSA 6A state championship in the 300 meter hurdles.
In plain language
This is a commendation resolution, a formal statement of praise passed by the Georgia House of Representatives rather than a law that changes anything in the Georgia Code. It recognizes Vincent Nnanna, a junior at Alpharetta High School, for winning the 2024 GHSA (Georgia High School Association) 6A Individual Track and Field State Championship in the 300 meter hurdles with a time of 37.11 seconds. The resolution notes this was the first state championship win in the 300 meter hurdles at Alpharetta High School since 2021, and credits his performance to his athletic ability, discipline, and the coaching of Head Coach AJ Merine. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Nnanna as a keepsake.
