Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the legacy of Lee Williams, a legendary track and field coach at Oscar Dean Wyatt High School in Fort Worth who died at the age of 71. Mr. Williams began his track and field career as a Poly Parrot and then went on to TCU, where he set the school record for the 400-meter run and mile relay and was a member of the first two relay teams to qualify for the NCAA championship. For these accomplishments, Williams was inducted into the 54th class of the Athletics Hall of Fame for TCU just last year. Williams went on to begin a legendary career as a track and field coach at Oscar Dean Wyatt. One of his greatest achievements as a coach came in 1998 when his 4-by-100-meter relay team set the national high school record of 39.76, a record that still stands to this day. Throughout his coaching career, Williams coached 15 all-Americans and won 15 district championships, four regional championships, and two State championships. He was selected to the Texas Track and Field Coaches Association back in 2019. I will end by highlighting Williams' dedication to the success and mentorship of his students on and off the track. He will always be known as a legend. I am praying for his wife, Carolyn, his two daughters, and his grandchildren. ____________________”
