         LIFE UNIVERSITY RUNNING EAGLES--NAIA CHAMPIONS, AGAIN

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. BOB BARR

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 23, 2000

  Mr. BARR of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride and 
admiration I recognize the Life University Running Eagles Men's 
Basketball Team from Marietta, Georgia. On Monday, March 20, 2000, the 
NAIA Division I Defending Champion Running Eagles defeated Georgetown 
College (KY) to win a second NAIA Championship in as many years. This 
marked the first time in nearly a decade an NAIA team had won back-to-
back titles. This was also the third time in four years Life University 
had captured the NAIA Championship.
  Excellence has become the hallmark of Life University sports; but the 
school excels also in academic pursuits. Life University was founded in 
1974 as Life Chiropractic College, and achieved university status in 
1997. It has a 26-year history of producing graduates, from a wide 
variety of degree programs, with the study of Chiropractic remaining 
its primary focus.
  For their achievements, I want to congratulate all of the members of 
the Men's Running Eagles team, their Coach Roger Kaiser, and the 
President and Founder of Life University, Dr. Sid E. Williams.
