Whereas head coach Mike Macdonald is the first head coach who also calls defensive plays to win a Super Bowl and the third youngest head coach to win a Super Bowl in National Football League (NFL) history;
Whereas Seahawks General Manager (GM) John Schneider is the only GM in NFL history to win two Super Bowls with two completely different rosters;
Whereas running back Kenneth Walker III was named Super Bowl LX Most Valuable Player after rushing 27 times for 135 yards, becoming the first running back to earn Super Bowl MVP honors since 1998;
Whereas kicker Jason Myers set a new Super Bowl record by converting five field goals, scoring a total of 17 points and becoming the first player in NFL history to exceed 200 points in a season (regular and postseason combined);
Whereas quarterback Sam Darnold threw for 202 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions;
Whereas the Seahawks' defense recorded six sacks, forced three turnovers, and dominated throughout, holding the Patriots scoreless for three quarters;
Whereas the Seahawks scored a key offensive touchdown on a 16-yard pass to tight end AJ Barner following a Patriots fumble early in the fourth quarter;
Whereas linebacker Uchenna Nwosu returned an interception 45 yards for a touchdown, helping to seal the Seahawks' victory;
Whereas Washington State proudly recognizes Cooper Kupp and Shane Lemieux of Yakima, and Abraham Lucas of Everett, whose exceptional talent and dedication on the field reflect the talent, determination, and character nurtured in our communities;
Whereas Cooper Kupp, from Yakima, Washington, and graduate of Davis High School and Eastern Washington University, has distinguished himself as one of the NFL's premier wide receivers and a Super Bowl MVP;
Whereas Abraham Lucas, born and raised in Everett, Washington, and a graduate of Archbishop Murphy High School and Washington State University, has become a key contributor on the Seahawks' offensive line, showcasing talent developed in our State's communities and schools;
Whereas Shane Lemieux, from Yakima, Washington, and graduate of West Valley High School and the University of Oregon, has distinguished himself as an accomplished NFL offensive lineman; and
