    TRIBUTE TO GREENUP COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY CHEERLEADING SQUAD

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I pay tribute to the Greenup 
County High School Varsity Cheerleading Squad. On February 9, the 
Greenup County High School Varsity Cheerleading Squad won the Universal 
Cheerleading Association's National Championship in Orlando, FL.
  Greenup County High School has a long standing tradition of bringing 
home the national title. Over the years, Greenup County has been named 
National Champions 11 times, a feat that no other high school 
cheerleading program in the country has accomplished.
  For the young women on this squad this is not just an trophy, it is 
an affirmation that with hard work and determination, anything is 
possible. To accomplish this goal the members not only have to juggle 
long practices and games, but they continue to achieve academic 
excellence. Not only are these young women excellent athletes and 
students but they pride themselves in giving back to their community 
for

support they have received by doing community service, fundraising, and 
public relations for their school system. The citizens of Greenup 
County, KY are fortunate to have the 2003 National Champions living and 
learning in their community. Their example of hard work and 
determination should be followed by all in the Commonwealth.
  I am very proud of the accomplishments these young women have made. I 
would like to congratulate the members of the Greenup County High 
School Varsity Cheerleading Squad for their success. But also, I want 
to congratulate their peers, coaches, teachers, administrators, and 
parents for their support and sacrifices they've made to help the 
Greenup County High School Varsity Cheerleading Squad make their dreams 
a reality.
