BY SENATOR CLAITOR
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTI ON
To commend and congratulate the Louisiana Varsity Sports Women's Team and Men's
Team on their participation and success in the 2013 Boston Marathon.
WHEREAS, Varsity Sports of Baton Rouge sponsored a men's and a women's team
in the recent Boston Marathon pitting the team members against runners from big states,
large cities, and from all around the world; and
WHEREAS, the two teams were among ninety-five participants in the race from the
state of Louisiana; and
WHEREAS, the Louisiana Varsity Sports Women's Team of Hannah Amoroso,
Rebecca Bokun, Kim Dominick, Megan Gohres, Erin Oswalt, Rosalie L. Teeuwen, Sarah
R. Truxillo, and Charlotte E. Werhan was led by Rosalie L. Teeuwen with a time of 2:51:08
and finished third among thirty-one teams; and
WHEREAS, the Men's Team, which included Brother Elias Eichorn, Adam
Macdowell, Matthew T. Manning, Jacob Marsh, Donald Quintana, Jonathan Thomas, and
Mark Truxillo, finished second among fifty-nine teams with Adam Macdowell posting a
time of 2:20:38; and
WHEREAS, the teams were coached, sponsored, and organized by Jenni Peters; and
WHEREAS, the team members, through individual effort and dedication, qualified
for and participated in the event, pushing themselves past previous limits over a course that
is famous for breaking overly ambitious runners; and
WHEREAS, none of the members of the Varsity Sports teams were injured by the
bomb blasts that marred the event and were able to avoid the tragic and gory scene for the
most part as many of them had already finished the 26.2 mile race; and
WHEREAS, the members of the teams had little time to celebrate their achievements,
however, as the afternoon was spent frantically locating each other and reassuring family and
friends that they were unharmed. SCR NO. 104 ENROLLED
