             TRIBUTE TO OXFORD CENTRAL SCHOOL ARCHERY TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT GARRETT

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 23, 2007

  Mr. GARRETT of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise today with great 
pride to honor the archery team at Oxford Central School in Oxford, New 
Jersey. This excellent team has already proven themselves by winning 
the state championship in the National Archery in the Schools Program. 
They will now go on to compete in Louisville, Kentucky for the National 
Championship.
  The National Archery in the Schools Program has shown that students 
not only enjoy learning about archery in school but also report higher 
attendance on days when archery is taught. I am pleased that Oxford 
Central School has not only embraced this successful program, but also 
seen such positive results from its implementation.
  The Oxford archery team is comprised of 24 outstanding shooters who 
finished well above their competition in New Jersey. Two of the 
archers, Kayle Bethune and Sharlette Carey, finished in the top three 
in the state. They will now go on to compete against archers from 41 
other states for the national title. I expect that the Oxford archery 
team will certainly be a force to be reckoned with during competition.
  Their individual performances and overall team accomplishments thus 
far deserve our most heartfelt congratulations and I wish them the best 
of luck at the National Championships on June 9th.
