House Joint Resolution 602 is a commendatory resolution honoring Hadley Nicole Husisian, an Oakton native and Team USA fencer, for representing Virginia and the Commonwealth at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. The resolution recounts her early start in fencing, her rise to national prominence as a junior athlete, her collegiate success at Princeton University, and her selection for the U.S. Olympic team.
The resolution also highlights her Olympic results in the women’s individual and team fencing events and notes her community service, including the Ton of Food drive, which has collected food and donations for people in need. It is a ceremonial measure that expresses the General Assembly’s admiration and best wishes, rather than creating or changing any law.
