Congresswoman Letlow Remarks:
I rise to congratulate the Louisiana State University baseball team for taking home their eighth national title.
Under the leadership of Coach Jay Johnson, LSU captured their second title in three years. The Tigers triumphed through their championship season with 53 wins and an undefeated College World Series.
Coach Johnson and his team exemplified excellence on and off the field, making Louisiana proud of not only their athleticism - but also their upstanding character and service to the Baton Rouge community.
As LSU’s representative in Congress, I joined my constituents in following the team’s journey to yet another championship.
ESPN this week referred to LSU as the “Greatest Ever College Baseball Program.” I couldn’t agree more!
This victory wasn’t just about raising the trophy at the end. It was a testament to the resilient, winning spirit of our state.
To the players, coaches, and staff: thank you for inspiring a new generation of Tigers to dream big. And thank you for representing Louisiana with honor on the national stage.
Congratulations and Geaux Tigers!
