In plain language

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honors Yoel Glover, Vincent Nnanna, Luke Roner, and Joseph Williams, students at Alpharetta High School, for their 2024 track and field season. The resolution recounts that the four runners won the 2024 GHSA 6A Individual Track and Field State Championship in the 4x400-meter relay with a time of 3:16.57, the school's first title in that event since 2021. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It states the House's commendation of the athletes and their coach, AJ Merine, and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the four students as a keepsake of the honor.
