    TRIBUTE TO IOWA CENTRAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE TRITONS WRESTLING TEAM

                                 ______

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 25, 2008

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a great achievement 
by the Iowa Central Community College Tritons wrestling team. This year 
Iowa Central won their third straight National Junior College Athletic 
Association, NJCAA, national championship.
  Iowa Central is only the third junior college to ever win three 
straight national titles. At 125 pounds, Terrance Young earned an 
individual national title. David Greenwald and Brad Lower were runner-
ups in their respective weight classes. Matt Burns, Joe Johnson, 
Carrington Banks and Kevin Kelly placed third, fourth, eighth and 
eighth in their respective weight classes. Carrington Banks, Brian 
Drake, David Greenwald, Kevin Kelly, Joe Johnson and Terrance Young 
were all named academic All-Americans as well.
  The example set by these young men and their coach, Luke Moffitt, 
demonstrates the rewards of hard work, dedication and determination. 
They scored victories on the mat as well as in the classroom. Their 
triumph in both arenas is an honor that we all can admire and be proud 
of.
  I am honored to represent Iowa Central Community College and their 
students, staff, faculty, wrestling team and their coaches in the 
United States Congress. I know that all of my colleagues join me in 
congratulating the Tritons on their third straight national 
championship and wishing all the young men continued success in their 
future endeavors.
