Senate Resolution No. by Senator Hensgens commends the students and faculty of the Lafayette Parish School System for their outstanding achievement in winning first place overall at the 27th Annual Elementary State Championship Fitness Meet, part of the Louisiana Governor's Games. This event, which has been held since 1997, serves as a premier competition for elementary school-aged children across thirty parishes in Louisiana, featuring over two hundred thousand athletes. The fitness meet includes seven events, and this year's competition took place on April 20th at Pineville High School, where Lafayette Parish athletes scored a total of 2,378 points, surpassing the second-place St. Tammany Parish and third-place Rapides Parish.

The resolution highlights the exceptional performance of Lafayette's top athlete, Kolbron Johnlouis from Charles Burke Elementary, who contributed significantly with 639 individual points. The resolution not only recognizes the hard work and dedication of the athletes but also acknowledges the support from coaches and parents. It concludes with a directive to transmit a copy of the resolution to the Lafayette Parish School Board, ensuring that the achievement is formally recognized within the community.
