 HONORING Christian Jerome upon the occasion of his
 designation as Athlete of the Year

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and
honor those distinguished athletes who, through their dedication,
talent, and sportsmanship, have brought pride and distinction to their
communities and to the State of New York; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor
Christian Jerome upon the occasion of his designation as Athlete of the
Year; and

 WHEREAS, Christian Jerome, a senior at Hoosic Valley High School,
has emerged as a rising star in swimming, earning widespread recognition
for his outstanding achievements and exemplary athleticism; and

 WHEREAS, Demonstrating extraordinary skill and determination,
Christian Jerome repeated as the New York State Champion in the 100-yard
butterfly, achieving All-American status with a personal-best time of
47.85 seconds; and

 WHEREAS, In addition to his championship performance, he secured a
sixth-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle at the state competition
and captured titles in both the 100 butterfly and 200 freestyle at the
Section 2 Division 2 Championships; and

 WHEREAS, Throughout the 2025-2026 season, Christian Jerome
established himself as the fastest swimmer in Section 2 across four
events-the 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, 200 freestyle, and 100
butterfly, while also ranking among the top three in three additional
events; and

 WHEREAS, His remarkable accomplishments earned him a leading
position on the Times Union's 2025-2026 Boys' Swimming and Diving
All-Star Team, further solidifying his status as one of the region's
premier athletes; and

 WHEREAS, Christian Jerome's commitment to excellence extends beyond
individual achievement, as he has consistently demonstrated leadership,
perseverance, and dedication to his team and sport; and

represents the promise of continued success and the enduring spirit of
competitive athletics; and

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to commend
individuals of outstanding character and achievement who exemplify the
values of hard work, discipline, and sportsmanship; now, therefore, be
it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Christian Jerome upon the occasion of his designation as Athlete
of the Year; and be it further
