Speaker 2: President. We do have one proclamation tonight. Proclamation 383 Sponsored by me, a proclamation honoring the 2015 University of Denver men's lacrosse team and winning the National Collegiate Athletic Associate Division one Lacrosse National Championship. Whereas the University of Denver Lacrosse started as a club sport in 1966, was adopted as a Division one varsity sport in 1999, and currently competes in the Big East as an associate member winning the 2015 Big East regular season. And. Whereas, The Denver Pioneers were the four seed overall in the 2015 lacrosse championship and beat storied opponents on their way to the championship, such as and to the championship game, such as Brown, Ohio State and Notre Dame. And. WHEREAS, Coach Bill Tierney came to the University of Denver in 2009 after success, coaching at Princeton is now the first Division one lacrosse coach to win national titles at two different universities for a record seven title. And. Whereas, The Denver Pioneer Lacrosse Team is one of the most geographically diverse in the nation, fielding players from 17 states and nations, including Ryan, the plant, Zach Miller, Trevor Baptiste, Mike Reis and Wesley Burge, who all made the 20 1592 a all-tournament team. And. Whereas, on May 25th, 2015, the Denver Pioneers beat the Maryland Terrapins 10 to 5 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to win their first Division one lacrosse championship and the first championship away from the East Coast, with Wesley Burg being named the tournament's most outstanding player. And. Whereas, the council specifically recognizes and congratulate the 2015 University of Denver Pioneer Lacrosse Team and their monuments as victory in the national championship. Now, therefore, be it proclaimed by the Council of the City and County of Denver, Section one, that the Denver City Council congratulated the Pioneer Lacrosse Team, the coaches and the entire University of Denver on their incredible 2015 lacrosse season and claiming the 2015 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division one Lacrosse Championship. Section two that the clerk of the city and county of Denver tested the Fix the seal of the city and county of Denver to this proclamation in a copy before it it to coach Bill Tierney at the University of Denver . So my motion to adopt I move that proclamation. 383 is adopted. It has been moved and seconded and I will start with myself with comments. This is just this is pretty awesome. There's just no getting around it. I you know, I remember growing up in Missouri, Lacrosse was not even a sport they had in my high school . And it's something that they always do on the East Coast because that's where the powerhouses are. And for the pioneers to take this victory in such a fashion is just truly remarkable. And I'm excited to have this proclamation, and I'm excited to have coach here, and I certainly hope my colleagues were support this proclamation. Councilwoman SUSSMAN.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Mr. President.
Speaker 8: I also give you much congratulations to you is my alma mater for graduate school. So I have.
Speaker 1: A special feeling about the pioneers. But also I had a daughter who played lacrosse and she was a walk on at Johns Hopkins the first year they were Division one.

Speaker 2: Thank you, Councilwoman Sussman. Councilman Brooks.
Speaker 7: Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you for putting this proclamation forward. There's nothing like getting a national championship for the city of Denver and for our state.

I'm actually a student there right now. And so I'm excited to be there. The campus has been hopping a little bit. And so congratulations. Thank you for putting Denver on the map. Our state and the university. You guys are doing a great job. Thank you.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Councilmember Casper McKinney.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I wanted to thank you, council president, for bringing this forward. I was out of the country for a couple of weeks and the person who picked me up from the airport, I asked, you know, what happened in Denver because I didn't read the paper. I didn't check my email, sorry, constituents, but and they she thought for 1/2 and she said, well, the Duke lacrosse championship was the only news that she thought was worth reporting from to me. So I thought that was quite a testament to the impact that you made to the entire city. Right. People were really cheering you on with this victory and the amazing story of how you came to Denver and of your players. So I wanted to thank you for the dedication that you did to get you to the championship and the pride that you've brought to the whole city and especially to your team. Thank you.

Speaker 0: Well, first of all, thank you. I do apologize for our students not being here, but it's a great reason. They're in final exams right now. And maybe we missed a little bit of school the last week or so being in Philadelphia. But I want to thank all of you. You know, the state, the city, the you it's great representing all of you. It was a quite an amazing run for our young men. But I think the most really exciting thing about it was how the the university and the city got behind this thing and haven't done this for 22 years at Princeton before coming out here to Denver. My only regret is I didn't do it earlier. So thank you so much. And it's a great honor to be have this proclamation and to be welcomed by you. Thank you.
