The following was written by claude-sonnet-5 from the text above and is not part of the resolution. Quote the text, not the summary.

A Georgia House resolution commends the University of West Georgia Cheerleading Program for winning a Division I national championship and building a 35-championship legacy from 2001 to 2025.

### Plain-language summary

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes the University of West Georgia's cheerleading program, including its All-Girl, Coed, and Group Stunt squads, for winning Division I national titles at the Universal Cheerleaders Association National College Championship in Orlando, Florida.
The resolution lists the coaches and the members of the 2024-2025 Small Coed, Large Coed, All-Girl, and All-Girl Group Stunt teams by name. It formally commends the program's legacy of 35 total national championships since 2001 and wishes the program continued success. The House directs its Clerk to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the cheerleading program.

### What it does

- Formally commends the University of West Georgia Cheerleading Program for winning Division I national championships in multiple squad categories.

- Names the coaching staff and every member of the 2024-2025 Small Coed, Large Coed, All-Girl, and All-Girl Group Stunt teams.
- Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the program.

### Who it affects

The University of West Georgia Cheerleading Program, its coaches Nichole Nichols, Brian Nichols, Landon Harvey, Jalen Jones, and Camila Pagan, and the named student-athletes on its Small Coed, Large Coed, All-Girl, and All-Girl Group Stunt squads.

### Why it matters

The resolution carries no legal or funding effect; it is a symbolic honor from the Georgia House of Representatives recognizing the achievements of a university athletic program and its student-athletes, formally entered into the legislative record.

### Key provisions

- The resolution's whereas clauses describe the team's Division I national championship win at the Universal Cheerleaders Association National College Championship in Orlando.
- It lists the full rosters of the 2024-2025 Small Coed, Large Coed, All-Girl, and All-Girl Group Stunt teams.
