A Georgia House resolution honors Vincent Nnanna of Alpharetta High School for winning the 2024 GHSA 6A state championship in the 300 meter hurdles. ### Plain-language summary 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. ### What it does - Formally commends Vincent Nnanna for winning the 2024 GHSA 6A state championship in the 300m hurdles. - States the House of Representatives' best wishes for his continued success. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Nnanna. - Creates no new law, funding, or regulatory change; it is a symbolic honor only. ### Who it affects The resolution directly names Vincent Nnanna, a student athlete at Alpharetta High School, and references his coach, AJ Merine. It has no broader effect on other individuals, schools, or state agencies. ### Why it matters The resolution has no practical legal effect on Georgians generally; it is a ceremonial honor. Its main real-world consequence is that Nnanna receives an official printed copy of the House's commendation recognizing his athletic achievement. ### Key provisions - The 'whereas' clauses recount Nnanna's track season and his championship-winning time of 37.11 seconds in the 300m hurdles. - The resolved clause formally commends Nnanna and wishes him continued success. - A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House to make a copy available for distribution to Nnanna. ## Status - Status: Passed (2025-03-27) - Last action: House Read and Adopted (2025-03-27) - Sponsors: Charles Martin, Jan Jones, Brent Cox, Scott Hilton, Matt Reeves - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/71821 > The history, votes, and amendments (131 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hr830.md?full=1
