                      Wednesday, January 29, 2003

  Mr. COMBEST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the 
Cheerleaders of Frenship Junior High. Through their hard work and 
dedication, these young women won the National Cheerleading Association 
National Championship.
  Since September, the girls of Frenship Junior High have practiced 
their routines at least two hours a week. The competition began on 
December 28th, where the girls qualified for the finals competition the 
next day. They overcame nerves and last minute alterations in their 
routine to take the championship on December 29, 2002 with a score of 
9.05 on a scale of 10. After so many months of practice and 
determination, the squad pulled through with a spectacular victory.
  It is with great pleasure, Mr. Speaker, that I honor these dedicated 
young women for their commitment to their sport. The Frenship Junior 
High School cheerleaders stand out as very dedicated and motivated 
individuals. I wish to congratulate these girls on their success in 
such a competitive sport.
