                        HON. THOMAS G. TANCREDO

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 18, 2004

  Mr. TANCREDO. Mr. Speaker, I would also like to applaud the 
accomplishments of a group of Aurora, Colorado students. The National 
Science Bowl team from Smoky Hill High School--Nathan Artz, Chris 
Krueger, Anthony Eskridge, Andrew Scacco, Jessa Forthofer and their 
coach, Mary Bartholomew--won their regional tournament, and will be 
here in Washington, DC to compete in the U.S. Department of Energy 
National Science Bowl Competition.
  The National Science Bowl is a 4-day event, in which students attend 
science seminars and workshops and participate in the Hydrogen Fuel 
Cell Model Car Challenge. The last two days of the event, teams from 
across the nation are pitted against each other in a verbal competition 
covering every branch of science and mathematics from algebra to 
zoology.
  The Smoky Hill team has worked diligently throughout the year to 
prepare for this competition and have demonstrated their academic 
domination in their regional successes. It is my pleasure to honor 
their commitment to scholastic excellence, and to wish them all the 
best at the competition and in their future endeavors.
