Honoring The Ohio State University dance team as the 2025 UCA & UDA College National Division IA Jazz Champion.
Summary
House Resolution 26 is a ceremonial resolution honoring The Ohio State University dance team for winning the 2025 Universal Cheerleading Association and Universal Dance Association College National Championship in the Division IA jazz category. The resolution also notes that the team placed second in the pom category and highlights that this was the team’s second consecutive jazz title and sixth since 2018.
The resolution praises the athletes for their dedication, sportsmanship, and teamwork, and specifically recognizes coach Melissa McGhee for helping develop the team’s talent and instilling determination, perseverance, and camaraderie. It is a formal expression of congratulations and appreciation from the Ohio House of Representatives rather than a measure that changes policy or appropriates funds.
Impact
HR 26 has no direct impact on Ohio statutes, administrative rules, or state spending. It is a nonbinding honorary resolution that serves to recognize an Ohio State University student-athlete team and its coach, and to direct the House Clerk to transmit an authenticated copy of the resolution to the team.
Sentiment
The sentiment around the resolution is uniformly positive and celebratory. The bill text reflects admiration for the team’s competitive success, discipline, and sportsmanship, and there is no recorded committee debate, vote controversy, or opposition in the provided materials.
Contention
There are no notable points of contention in the available record. Because the resolution is purely honorary, it does not appear to raise policy disputes, fiscal concerns, or stakeholder disagreements; the only substantive focus is on recognizing Ohio State’s dance team and coach for their championship performance.
