the unique distinction of being the first boys' swimming champion in
Queensbury High School history; and
WHEREAS, Andrew Guinther, who will attend Boston University next fall,
finished with a winning time of 57.22 which broke the Queensbury school

congratulate him for the enduring honor he has brought to his family,
his school and his community; and be it further
