This resolution celebrates the Trinity Lutheran High School girls volleyball team's remarkable achievement of winning the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) Class 1A state championship on November 9, 2024, by defeating Faith Christian in three sets. The victory is particularly significant as it represents the school's first-ever state championship, following previous state finalist appearances in 2011, 2019, and 2021. The resolution highlights the team's impressive performance, including 45 team digs and a new Class 1A three-set state championship record of seven total team blocks. It also recognizes senior Laura Roeder, who received the IHSAA Mental Attitude Award for her excellence in mental attitude, scholarship, leadership, and athletic ability, and head coach Janet VanLiew, who was named the state Class 1A Coach of the Year. The resolution formally congratulates the team and instructs the Principal Clerk of the House of Representatives to distribute copies of the resolution to State Representative Jim Lucas, acknowledging the team's collective effort and achievement in securing the state championship for themselves, their school, and their community.
