Honoring the Olentangy Berlin High School competition cheer team on winning the 2024 OHSAA Division I Spirit State Championship.
Summary
SR47 is a simple congratulatory Senate resolution honoring the Olentangy Berlin High School competition cheer team for winning the 2024 Ohio High School Athletic Association Division I Spirit State Championship. The resolution also recognizes the team’s Best of Category awards in band chant, fight song, and crowd leading, and notes that the squad placed sixth at the national competition.
The resolution praises the team’s dedication, discipline, composure, and perseverance, emphasizing the many hours of practice and training that contributed to its success. It formally commends the athletes, acknowledges the pride of their families, friends, and coaches, and directs the Senate Clerk to transmit an authenticated copy of the resolution to the team.
Impact
SR47 does not change state law, create new programs, or appropriate funds. Its effect is ceremonial only: it places the Ohio Senate’s official recognition on the record and sends a formal copy of the resolution to the Olentangy Berlin High School competition cheer team. No statutes, agencies, or regulated parties are affected beyond the symbolic recognition of the school and its athletes.
Sentiment
The sentiment around the resolution is uniformly positive and celebratory. The bill text is entirely laudatory, and there is no indication of opposition, controversy, or divided voting. It reflects routine legislative recognition of a successful student athletic team and its accomplishments at the state and national levels.
Contention
There are no notable points of contention in the available record. Because SR47 is a nonbinding honorary resolution, it does not appear to have generated policy debate, committee disagreement, or recorded votes. Any discussion would likely have centered on the appropriateness of honoring the team’s athletic achievement, but no opposing views are present in the provided materials.
