Referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. (consideration: CR S7335)
This is a Senate resolution commending the Hutchinson Community College Blue Dragons football team for winning the 2024 National Junior College Athletic Association Football National Championship on December 18, 2024. The Blue Dragons defeated Iowa Western Community College 28-23 in the championship game, finishing their season with an 11-1 record and securing the program's second national title in its history. The resolution highlights the team's impressive comeback, including a 14-point deficit in the first quarter that they overcame by outscoring their opponents 28-9 over the final three quarters, and notes that running back Waymond Jordan Jr. was named NJCAA Player of the Year while head coach Drew Dallas earned his second championship in five seasons. The Senate formally recognizes the players, coaches, and staff of the team and requests that copies of the resolution be sent to the college's president, athletic director, and head coach. This resolution has no fiscal impact or implementation timeline, as it is purely a ceremonial recognition of the athletic achievement.
