Congratulating Faith Tarrant.

Summary

House Resolution 4628 is a ceremonial resolution from the Washington State House of Representatives congratulating Faith Tarrant of Prairie High School for her accomplishments in girls’ wrestling. The resolution highlights her record-breaking state championship victory, her status as Clark County’s first four-time state wrestling champion, and her third consecutive undefeated season. It also notes that she finished her high school career ranked nationally in her weight class by USA Wrestling. The resolution further recognizes the support of her coach, Rob Smith, the Prairie High School wrestling team, its fans, and the Vancouver community. It frames Tarrant’s success as an example of perseverance, hard work, community support, and sportsmanship, and states that copies of the resolution should be transmitted to the team and coach as a formal acknowledgment of the achievement.

Impact

This resolution does not amend state law, create new legal duties, or appropriate funds. Its effect is purely ceremonial and symbolic: it places the Washington House’s official recognition on the record and directs the Chief Clerk to send copies to the Prairie High School wrestling team and head coach. The only practical impact is public commendation of an individual athlete and her school community, with no direct legal effect on statutes, agencies, or private parties.

Sentiment

The sentiment around the resolution is uniformly positive and congratulatory. The bill was adopted without any recorded opposition in the provided history, and the text itself is celebratory throughout. It reflects the House’s tradition of recognizing notable achievements and presents Tarrant’s success as a source of pride for her school, coach, and community.

Contention

There is no notable policy contention in the available materials because the measure is a noncontroversial honorary resolution. No committee debate or recorded votes are provided, and the resolution does not implicate competing legal or fiscal interests. The only substantive focus is on celebrating Faith Tarrant’s athletic accomplishments and acknowledging the people who supported her.
