                CONGRATULATING UF'S WOMEN'S TENNIS TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CLIFF STEARNS

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 18, 2003

  Mr. STEARNS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today 
to recognize the 2003 University of Florida women's tennis team, for 
achieving the highest honor in collegiate play, the NCAA title. The 
Gators upset the top-ranked and two time defending champion Stanford in 
front of a spirited sellout crowd at Linder Stadium at Ring Tennis 
Complex in Gainesville, Florida.
  This week the University of Florida women's tennis team has been 
invited to The White House to participate in the 2003 NCAA Spring 
Sports Championship Day, recognizing the NCAA team champions from the 
2003 spring season. The 2003 Gator team will be UF's fourth national 
championship team to visit The White House, joining the 1996 football 
team, the 1998 soccer and 1998 women's tennis teams. I congratulate the 
Women's Tennis Team on their exceptional 2003 season and wish them the 
best of luck in 2004. Go Gators!
