Senate Resolution No. by Senator Barrow commends the Glen Oaks High School track team for their remarkable achievement in winning their first Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) Division II Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field state championship. The resolution highlights the team's journey, beginning with their formation in the 2022-2023 academic year, where they demonstrated dedication and perseverance through rigorous training. Their efforts led to a third-place finish at the LSU Classic and ultimately propelled them to dominate the state championships, where they secured the indoor title and later excelled in the outdoor season, accumulating a total of eighty points and a comfortable seventeen-point lead over the second-place team.
The resolution expresses appreciation for the sportsmanship displayed by the athletes and coaches throughout their journey, recognizing the contributions of head coaches Sean Beauchamp, Johnny Duncan, and Byron Weber. It serves to honor the Glen Oaks Panthers not only for their athletic accomplishments but also for the pride they have brought to their school, the city of Baton Rouge, and the state of Louisiana. A copy of the resolution will be transmitted to the coaches as a formal acknowledgment of their success.
