THIS MARKS FRENSHIP FOURTH CONSECUTIVE STATE APPEARANCE.

UNIFIED TRACK AND FIELD IS A UIL ATHLETIC COMPETITION THAT PAIRS STUDENTS WITH AND WITHOUT INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES, SO THAT THEY'RE ALL COMPETING ON ONE TEAM. UNIFIED.

THEY PROUDLY EARNED FIFTH PLACE AT THE STATE COMPETITION, AND THE TEAM ALSO CELEBRATED MULTIPLE NEW PERSONAL BEST RECORDS WHILE THERE AND THEN ALSO UNIQUE. THIS YEAR, FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS VISITED THE STATE CAPITOL TO ADVOCATE FOR UNIFIED SPORTS AND IMPROVED HEALTH SERVICES FOR ATHLETES WITH DISABILITIES.

AND DURING THAT VISIT, OUR STUDENTS MET WITH STATE LAWMAKERS TO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES AND HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF INCLUSIVITY IN ATHLETICS AND EDUCATION.

UNIFIED TRACK AND FIELD COACHES CASEY SMITH AND AARON TOMLINSON ARE HERE TO HELP RECOGNIZE THESE STUDENTS.

COACHES. ALL RIGHT. THANKS FOR HAVING US. YOU KNOW, THIS THING CONTINUES TO GROW EVERY YEAR, AND IT'S AWESOME TO SEE THESE. THESE SENIORS ARE THE ONES THAT STARTED IT, SO WE'RE KIND OF EMOTIONAL BECAUSE THEY'RE LEAVING US.

SO. BUT ANYWAY, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WAYS YOU SUPPORT US FINANCIALLY, YOU KNOW, CHEERING US ON.

I'M SORRY. I'M GOING TO HAND IT OVER TO ONE OF OUR STUDENTS.

BLAKELY MARTIN, WHO'S GOING TO TELL YOU GUYS ABOUT OUR UNIFIED.

I DON'T KNOW WHY OUR UNIFIED EXPERIENCE IN ATLANTA AND BOSTON ARE ALSO GOING TO TALK.

[00:50:04]

I TRY TO BE REALLY PROFESSIONAL. SORRY, I JUST CAME AS A SMARTY PANTS TODAY.

HI, EVERYONE. I'M BLAKELY, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW ME.

I'M HONESTLY HONORED TO BE ABLE TO SHARE TONIGHT.

IT'S HONESTLY BEEN. I MIGHT START CRYING, TOO.

IT'S BEEN SUCH A GREAT YEAR, AND I'M SO THANKFUL FOR IT.

BACK IN SEPTEMBER, ME AND JJ INTERVIEWED FOR A SPOT ON THE REGIONAL YOUTH LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE.

AND SINCE THEN, WE'VE HAD THE CHANCE TO NOT ONLY SHARE OUR STORY, BUT HELP SCHOOLS ACROSS TEXAS UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF UNIFIED.

WE WENT TO A SUMMIT IN AUSTIN AT THE BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY, AND WE GOT TO TALK WITH OTHER SCHOOLS JUST ABOUT LIKE HOW HOW TO START UNIFIED IN THEIR SCHOOLS IN ALL THE INS AND OUTS OF IT. WE ALSO LEARN FROM OTHER SCHOOLS HOW TO HELP OUR PROGRAM.

HONESTLY, ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL EXPERIENCES WAS A COUPLE WEEKS LATER WE GOT TO ATTEND THE STATE CAPITOL TOGETHER.

WE SPOKE TO SENATORS AND LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES ABOUT UNIFYING THE IMPORTANCE OF FUNDING.

WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO BE JOINED BY DOCTOR MCCORD.

SHE WAS THERE, AND IT MEANT THE WORLD TO US. BEING ABLE TO STAND SIDE BY SIDE WITH LEADERSHIP AND SPEAK FROM THE HEART, WITH SOUL WAS SO IMPORTANT AND SO IMPACTFUL IN SO MANY WAYS.

THIS SEASON HAS BEEN ONE FOR THE BOOKS. WE HAVE SO MANY SENIORS.

AND I'M SAD TO SEE THEM GO, BUT I'LL BE HERE FOR ONE MORE YEAR, AND I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

OUR TEAM SHOWED INCREDIBLE GROWTH. GETTING THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL AS A TEAM ALLOWED US TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH EACH OTHER AND SPEND QUALITY TIME AS A TEAM BEFORE WE GOT TO BOWL AND PLAY ARCADE GAMES. AND IT WAS SO MUCH FUN JUST GETTING TO HANG OUT WITH EACH OTHER AND SPEND QUALITY TIME.

WE SAW COUNTLESS PERSONAL BESTS THIS YEAR IN ALL OF OUR EVENTS AMONG OUR WHOLE TEAM, ONLY MISSING THE MEDAL STAND BY TWO POINTS.

BUT IT WAS NEVER ABOUT MEDALS. IT WAS JUST ABOUT US BEING A FAMILY.

WE WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR ALWAYS BEING SO SUPPORTIVE.

IT MEANS THE WORLD TO US. WE COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

HI BOSTON, I'M ANNA. FRIDAY WAS A VERY BIG DAY FOR FRENSHIP UNIFIED.

WE WERE PRESENTED WITH A BANNER. IT'S THE FIRST YEAR PRESENTING THESE BANNERS TO SCHOOLS WHO HAVE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND THE SIX DAY EVENT.

THERE ARE NINE SCHOOLS, INCLUDING FRENSHIP, WHO HAVE BEEN AWARDED THESE BANNERS ACROSS THE STATE.

BEING NAMED A TEXAS UNIFIED CHAMPION SCHOOL AND RECEIVING THE VERY FIRST BANNER IN THE STATE IS AN INCREDIBLE HONOR.

THIS RECOGNITION, THIS RECOGNITION CELEBRATES OUR COMMITMENT TO INCLUSION, RESPECT AND UNITY WITHIN OUR SCHOOL.

IT MEANS WE'VE EMBRACED THE POWER OF DIVERSITY BY FOSTERING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS OF ALL ABILITIES TO LEARN, LEAD AND GROW TOGETHER. THIS BANNER REPRESENTS MORE THAN AN ACHIEVEMENT.

IT'S A SYMBOL OF THE LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE THAT DEFINES OUR COMMUNITY.

TOGETHER, WE'VE SHOWN THAT INCLUSION ISN'T JUST A GOAL, IT'S WHO WE ARE. ME AND BOSTON HAVE BEEN A PART OF THE UNIFIED TEAM FOR ME FOR BOSTON THREE. AND WHAT THIS PROGRAM AND WHAT YOU ALL DO FOR US AND JUST GIVING TO US.

WE GET SO MUCH MORE FROM THIS, FROM UNIFIED THAN WE COULD EVER IMAGINE THESE PAST YEARS.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. SO I HAVE TO SAY, BEFORE YOU ALL LEAVE IS THAT I DID GET TO BE AT THE STATE CAPITOL WITH THE REPRESENTATIVES THAT WERE HERE. AND SO THE STATE CAPITOL.

I'VE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES. AND IT'S ALWAYS INTIMIDATING BECAUSE IT'S EASY TO GET LOST.

THERE'S LOTS OF VERY IMPORTANT LOOKING PEOPLE THERE THAT ARE DRESSED REALLY NICE.

BUT LET ME JUST TELL YOU THAT FRIENDSHIP TOOK THE PLACE BY STORM.

AND WE I MEAN, LIKE THEY WERE ROYALTY. AND BECAUSE WE'RE KNOWN ACROSS THE STATE AS THIS MODEL OF WHAT UNIFIED TRACK IS SUPPOSED TO BE. AND SO THIS WAS THE STATEWIDE ORGANIZATION, AND THEN WE WERE CALLED SEPARATELY TO GO TO A REPRESENTATIVE'S OFFICE BECAUSE HE ACTUALLY HAS A GRANDSON, GRANDDAUGHTER THAT GOES TO A SCHOOL THAT THEY DON'T HAVE UNIFIED.

AND SO HE HAD OUR KIDS AND WHO ALL WAS THERE? I KNOW IT WAS CAMDEN, BLAKELY, JJ, MATT AND MATT.

YEAH. YES. YEAH. THAT WE WERE WE WERE INVITED INTO HIS OFFICE, AND THE KIDS SHARED EVERYTHING THAT UNIFIED DOES THAT.

IT'S ABOUT NO ONE ELSE. EVERYBODY ELSE WAS LIKE HAULED OFF TO DO SOMETHING ELSE, THAT WE WERE SET APART.

THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED. AND THEN THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.

SPEAKER BOROS INVITED US, AND SO WE GOT A TOUR OF HIS APARTMENT THERE AT THE CAPITOL.

[00:55:04]

THE MAN LIVES THERE. HIS WIFE, DIDN'T WE? J.J.

WE JUST WENT IN THERE. THEY GAVE US A TOUR AND WE GOT THE WHOLE THING.

AND THEN THEY. I TRIED TO ACT LIKE I DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO, BUT I DID.

I JUST LET Y'ALL DO IT IS THEY GOT TO STAND UP AND HIT THE GAVEL IN THE.

WHEREVER THEY. WHAT IS THAT CALLED? THE CHAMBER. THE CHAMBER.

PARDON ME. PARDON ME. I WAS AWESTRUCK. BUT AND YES, IT WAS BECAUSE WE ARE FROM SPEAKER BURROWS.

WE'RE HIS CONSTITUENTS. BUT IT WASN'T JUST THAT.

IT IS BECAUSE BEFORE THAT, THEY JUST. WE ARE SORT OF THE THE DISTRICT ON A HILL, SO TO SPEAK. THE CITY ON A HILL. THE LOT FOR UNIFIED TRACK AND UNIFIED TRACK BRINGS OUT THE BEST OF THE THINGS THAT SPORTS AND TEAMWORK AND ALL THOSE THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE.

AND IT MAKES ME PROUD. AND I KNOW LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE.

AND TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT I WORK AT FRENSHIP, I WORK WITH FRENSHIP UNIFIED TRACK.

SO THANK YOU ALL. BUT I MEAN, YOU JUST CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT STARS THEY WERE.

THEY WERE STARS. YES. SO CONGRATULATIONS.

ONE FINAL THING. IF YOU STARTED UNIFIED, WHO'S A SENIOR WHO STARTED WITH US, J.P.

87. HANNAH AND CAM. IF IT WEREN'T FOR THESE GUYS, WE WOULDN'T HAVE THE TRACK TEAM THAT WE DID, BECAUSE. DO YOU GUYS REMEMBER THE FIRST THE FIRST YEAR? IT WAS WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WE WERE DOING. AND THESE LITTLE FRESHMEN FELL IN LOVE WITH IT, AND THEY GREW THE THEY GREW THE PROGRAM. THEY TALKED ABOUT IT. HANNAH RECRUITED AND THEN I THINK THE COOLEST THING RIGHT NOW IS GRAHAM PLAYS BASKETBALL.

AND. DEVIN. WHERE'S DEVIN AT? ARE YOU DOWN THERE? DEVIN IS THE MANAGER FOR BASKETBALL. AND SO I FEEL LIKE WE STOLE GRAHAM BECAUSE OF DEVIN RECRUITING.

AND SO IT'S JUST KIND OF COOL HOW IT ALL FOSTERS AND AND WORKS OUT.

AND THEN MAC TRY TO GET CAM TO RUN. BUT CAM WAS BEHIND THE SCENES, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.

ANYWAY, THANK THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING.

WE COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT Y'ALL, SO THANKS. LOOK, I GOT THROUGH IT, OKAY? THANK. BIGGER PICTURE WILL PROBABLY NEED TO MAKE TWO LINES TO GET.

SORRY. HELLO, FRIENDS.

THAT WAS GREAT. A LOT OF. STUDENTS THAT WERE RECOGNIZED AND ARE ALWAYS PROUD OF THEM.

THEY MAKE US PROUD. ALWAYS NICE TO TO GO PLACES AND TELL THEM YOU'RE FROM FRENSHIP.

AND PART OF THE REASON IS WHY ALL THESE KIDS THAT WE RECOGNIZE TONIGHT, AND THAT'S WHY THEY KNOW THE FRENSHIP NAME ACROSS THE STATE.

SO IT'S COMING ALONG NICELY. LASTING. THIS WAS MY FAVORITE AREA.

IT'S A COMMON AREA WHICH YOU CAN SEE AGAIN. SOUND PANELS ARE ON THE WALLS.

THE LIGHTS ARE BURNING OR STARTING TO STALL. THE PANELS AND THE HANDRAILS. YOU SEE THE STAINLESS PANELS LOOKS REALLY NICE.

WHAT'S REALLY COOL ABOUT THIS AREA? IF YOU LOOK BACK THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN, THE STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK INSIDE A CULINARY THROUGH SOME BIG GLASS WINDOWS IN THE ATRIUM.

I THOUGHT IT WAS A NEAT PIC. KIND OF REMIND YOU THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, ALL THE DOORS OPEN AND WAIT FOR THE STUDENTS TO COME IN, AND IT'S GOT CARDBOARD DOWN ON THE FLOOR, BUT THE FLOOR'S GOT A REAL NEAT TILE PATTERN TO IT, SO IT'S NEAT.

THIS IS JUST A REGULAR CLASSROOM. CAN YOU SEE LOTS OF BURNING FURNITURE INSIDE? BLACKBOARDS ARE UP BLUE. REALLY LOOKS SHARP. MAKES IT.

AND LOTS OF BURNING GOALS ARE INSTALLED. AND THIS IS KIND OF NEAT.

INSIDE THE STORM SHELTERS THEY HAVE GIANT BATTERY BACKUP SYSTEMS BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, DURING TORNADOES, A LOT OF TIMES YOU LOSE ELECTRICITY. WELL, WITH BATTERY BACKUP, THEY'LL PICK UP AND THEY'LL RUN THE LIGHTS AND PUMP FRESH AIR INTO THAT AREA FOR A SOLID 120 MINUTES. GIVE THEM TIME TO GET SOMEONE IN THERE.

SO IT'S KIND OF A NEAT, NEAT AFTERTHOUGHT. AND THIS IS THE PANTHER PIT THAT YOU SEE THE CITY INSTALL.

PERMANENT LIGHTS ARE BURNING, SOUND SYSTEMS INSTALL GOES UP.

AND RIGHT NOW THEY'RE UP IN THE SUBFLOOR DOWN FOR THE MAPLE FLOOR OF THE BUILDING.

BRAIN. THIS WAS AROUND THE NORTH SIDE OF THE NINTH GRADE CENTER.

THIS IS THE ATHLETIC EDITION, WHICH YOU CAN SEE WORK IS ONGOING.

ALL THE EXTRA DOORS ARE HUNG. EXTRA LIGHTINGS UP ON THE ROOF.

EXCUSE ME. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE FUTURE WEIGHT ROOM.

BUT YOU SEE, THEY GOT THE RESILIENT FLOORING DOWN.

THAT'S NOT A BIG STRAP. THAT'S JUST A PIECE OF CARDBOARD TO KEEP THE WORKERS FROM TEARING IT UP. BUT WALLS ARE PAINTED, DOORS ARE UP. SO IT'S IT'S JUST ABOUT READY FOR WEIGHTS INSIDE THE LOCKER ROOMS. AGAIN, LIGHTS ARE BURNING, LOCKERS ARE INSTALLED. SO.
