Bryan Keirns, a junior from Oklahoma Christian, broke away from the group with a little under a mile to go. In the final straightaway, approximately four hundred meters to go, Bryan pulled away from Tucker. Making one final and commanding surge, Tucker made his final cross country race one that he would never forget by closing the gap on Bryan, passing him only a few meters before the finish line, taking the win; and Whereas, the first thing he said after the race was, “I just kept asking of You and less of the race. I wanted Jesus, ‘more me...’ throughout to honor and Him”; Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the pride and recognition that Tucker Hilley has brought to his school and community, and wish him many years of enjoyment in his next endeavor. Now, therefore, Be it resolved by the House of Representatives: That the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, recognize and honor Tucker Hilley from Abbeville, South Carolina, upon winning the individual National Christian College Athletic Association cross country championship, and to wish him continued success and happiness in all of his future endeavors. Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Tucker Hilley. XX
