                  THE NJCAA DIVISION III WORLD SERIES

                                 ______


                       HON. GEORGE E. SANGMEISTER

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 10, 1994

  Mr. SANGMEISTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an 
outstanding group of young men and their coaches who have reaffirmed 
the reputation of Joliet, IL, as the city of champions.
  The Joliet Junior College Baseball Wolves, led by Coach Wayne King, 
won the National Junior College Athletic Association's Division III 
World Series May 26 in Jamestown, NY. The Wolves took the title with a 
sparkling 3-hit, 6 to 0 shutout tossed by Series Most Valuable Player 
Tony Pasch against North Lake College of Irving, TX.
  In recognition of his team's title, outstanding 46-11 overall record 
and excellent coaching abilities, Mr. King was named the NJCAA Division 
III Coach of the Year.
  I should also mention that the World Series triumph marks the second 
national championship for my alma mater this year. In March, the men's 
basketball squad won the NJCAA Division II crown.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Coach King and his players for this 
outstanding triumph, and wish the team continued success in the future 
representing Joliet Junior College and the city of champions.
