| 4 |
| citizens of the State of Illinois; and
|
| 5 |
| WHEREAS, Ali Omahen, of Schlarman High School in Danville, |
| 6 |
| Illinois, has been selected as the News-Gazette Volleyball |
| 7 |
| Player of the Year; and
|
| 8 |
| WHEREAS, Ali Omahen thought that playing volleyball meant |
| 9 |
| giving up swimming; but through the advice of her coach and |
| 10 |
| others, she has, in the words of her mother, "gone from a |
| 11 |
| swimmer who plays volleyball to a volleyball player who swims"; |
| 12 |
| and
|
| 13 |
| WHEREAS, Ali became a varsity starter in volleyball her |
| 14 |
| sophomore year and, by her senior year, led the Hilltoppers to |

| 16 |
| Eight; and
|
| 17 |
| WHEREAS, Ali somehow found time to serve as the 2006 |
| 18 |
| homecoming queen at Schlarman High School when she was not on |
| 19 |
| the courts; and
|
| 20 |
| WHEREAS, Ali was the only Class A area athlete with at |
| 21 |
| least 600 assists and 100 kills for the season; though starting |
| 22 |
| as an outside hitter, she has found her place as the team |
| 23 |
| setter; and
|
| 24 |
| WHEREAS, Ali Omahen can thank her coach, Jamison Keummerle, |
| 25 |
| for sticking with her, recruiting her, and seeing her |
| 26 |
| potential; as a result of her hard work, she is receiving |
| 27 |
| scholarship offers from many colleges across the State; |
| 28 |
| therefore, be it
