2     WHEREAS, The members of the Illinois House of
3 Representatives are pleased to honor milestones in the lives of
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
15 a school record for wins (29) and a berth in the Class A Elite
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
