In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Brookwood High School girls swim and dive team for capturing its second consecutive state title in the 2025 GHSA Class 6A State Swimming and Diving Championship, defeating runner-up Harrison by a score of 427 to 269. The resolution highlights standout performances, including Nicole Amike's individual state titles in the 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle events and her role on the winning 200-yard freestyle relay team with Sophie Hamilton, Hailey Dopson, and Amelia Moore. It also notes Hailey Dopson's individual state title in the 100-yard backstroke. The Senate directs its Secretary to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the team as a keepsake of the honor.
