First up—and they are joining us virtually—it is an honor to recognize Jack Van Howe for exemplary athletic success, being named the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 1 state champion for the boys backstroke. This is not the first time that he has showed excellence in this arena. In fact, this year he beat his own record by nearly two whole seconds, finishing at 49.35 seconds at the state final. With this new record and title, Jack became Rochester’s third athlete to win a state individual swim title and the first in the 100 backstroke. Jack finished in first place 14 times this season while at the same time maintaining a 3.8 grade point average. Please join me in giving a warm virtual congratulations to Jack Van Howe. If you thought that was the end of the excitement, you are incorrect because we’re also here to celebrate the Rochester Adams competitive cheer team in celebration of their 2021 Division 1 state championship. There has been no shortage of amazing accomplishments out of the Rochester area this year. Even with an unconventional start and a two-month pause in the season, this team showed perseverance, continuing to work in their basements and garages, completing practices and workouts over Zoom to make sure they were ready to compete. This team was able to finish the season winning all other competitions and being undefeated in Division 1. This team also made history as only the fourth team ever to earn a back-to-back state title in Division 1 competitive cheer. Led by head coach Brooke Miller and assistant coaches Jocelyn Welsh and Quin Gonzalez, please join me in another congratulations, this time for the Rochester Adams competitive cheer team.
