In plain language

The resolution describes her achievement as the result of dedication, training, and support from her coach Michele Heindl, teammates, family, and school community. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for Speigner, so she can keep it as a formal record of the honor.
