R. 507 - 2 - ## Summaries written by Georgia Commons 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 Senate resolution congratulates Katya Tumanova, a Midtown High School swimmer, for helping set a school record in the 400 Free Relay. ### Plain-language summary This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It recognizes Katya Tumanova, a member of the Midtown High School girls swim relay team in Fulton County, for winning first place in the 400 Free Relay and breaking the school record by seven seconds with a time of 3:31.75. The resolution formally congratulates Tumanova and her teammates, Rhea El-Deiry, Dabney Bond, and Sarah Paisley Owen, for their athletic performance, dedication, and teamwork. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Tumanova as a keepsake of the honor. ### What it does - Formally congratulates Katya Tumanova for helping win first place in the 400 Free Relay swim event. - Recognizes the Midtown High School girls swim relay team for breaking the school record with a time of 3:31.75. - Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Katya Tumanova. ### Who it affects The resolution names Katya Tumanova and her Midtown High School swim relay teammates, Rhea El-Deiry, Dabney Bond, and Sarah Paisley Owen, along with the school and Fulton County community they represent. ### Why it matters The resolution has no legal effect and changes no Georgia law.
