SR508: SR508 Midtown High School Girls Swim Relay Team; congratulate

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a piece of regulatory law. It honors the Midtown High School girls swim relay team for winning first place in the 400 Free Relay, breaking the school's previous record by seven seconds with a time of 3:31.75. The resolution names the four team members: Rhea El-Deiry, Dabney Bond, Katya Tumanova, and Sarah Paisley Owen. The Senate formally congratulates the team and wishes them continued success, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for the team. It creates no new law, funding, or ongoing obligation.
