                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Concerning the national cheerleading championship of the University of 
               Central Florida Varsity Cheerleading Team.

Whereas in January 2003, the University of Central Florida Varsity Cheerleading 
        Team placed first in the 2003 Division 1-A College Cheerleading National 
        Championship;
Whereas the University of Central Florida (UCF) cheerleading squad has 
        experienced a steady climb to success with a top-10 national ranking for 
        nine of the past ten years, including a third-place finish in 1999, a 
        second-place finish in 2002, and now a first-place victory, leading UCF 
        to claim its first Division 1-A title;
Whereas the University of Central Florida and its distinguished tradition of 
        service to community extends to the cheerleading team as evidenced by an 
        award from the National Consortium for Academics and Sports for 
        participating in the most community service events last year;
Whereas the members of the UCF cheerleading team have stayed true to the 
        principles of being scholar-athletes by posting a cumulative grade point 
        average of 3.3; and
Whereas Linda Gooch, the coach of the championship team, has served as the 
        cheerleading coach since 1984 following her own participation as a UCF 
        cheerleader between 1980-1984, and has served the university with 
        distinction for more than two decades: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress--
            (1) congratulates the University of Central Florida Varsity 
        Cheerleading Team on their historic victory as the 2003 
        Division 1-A College Cheerleading National Champions;
            (2) encourages President Bush to invite the University of 
        Central Florida Cheerleading Team to the White House for a 
        ceremony to offer his congratulations on their national 
        championship; and
            (3) instructs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to 
        distribute a copy of this resolution to each member of the 
        University of Central Florida Cheerleading Team, its coaching 
        staff, and the University's president.
