This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honors the University of West Georgia cheerleading team for its long history of success, citing 34 team titles and six partner titles for a combined 40 national championships since 2001. It specifically notes that the team's Large Co-Ed and All-Girl squads recently won Division I National Championships at the Universal Cheerleaders Association National College Championship in Orlando, Florida.

Its only formal actions are for the House to commend the team and to direct the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the team.
