On the recordJune 7, 2023
In keeping with my office policy of giving a floor speech for every State high school champion in the Sixth District of Virginia, I rise to congratulate the Strasburg High School women's track and field team for winning the Class 2 State championship, the program's first State title since 1993. Finishing with a total of 68 points, the Rams delivered strong performances needed to win. These talented athletes include Macy Smith, Claire Keefe, Paige Hiserman, Toni Rhodes, Megan Martin, Maddy Dofermire, Neila Coughenour, Willow Musterman, and Amanie Hogan. Junior sprinter and jumper Macy placed in all five of her events, even winning a State title in the long jump with an impressive leap of 17 feet, 7\1/2\ inches. Senior hurdler and jumper Maddy also placed in four events, winning second place in the high jump. Taking home the State title in the 4 x 800-meter relay were Claire, Toni, Paige, and Megan, beating the runner-up by over 12 seconds. Each one of these ladies serves as an inspiration not only to their peers but to the entire Sixth District, proving that hard work and dedication can yield tangible results. Congratulations again to the Strasburg High School women's track and field team on this incredible accomplishment. Recognizing North Cross High School's Division II State Championships
