                        Thursday, July 10, 2008

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an 
outstanding group of young ladies from Madison County, IL.
  The Metro United U-17 girls soccer team won second place in the 
Illinois Youth Soccer Association State Cup finals June 15 in 
Libertyville, IL. Their only loss was in the championship game to 
Eclipse Select, the number one ranked team in the nation. Along the way 
to the finals, Metro United beat Eclipse Select South 2-0, Illinois 
Fusion 3-1, and Chicago Magic 1-0.
  I want to congratulate coaches Tony Segobiano and Mitch Bohnak, and 
the members of the Metro United U-17 team: Megan Pawloski, Brittney 
Dailey, Jenny Humphrey, Emily Morris, Kelli Segobiano, Tess Huetner, 
Allison Menchak, Ashley Juravich, Jordan Hendrickson, Kaisi Hartwick, 
Kaitlyn Hoffman, Sam Poteet and Maureen Nesbit.
  These young ladies have devoted many hours of hard work and 
dedication toward reaching this achievement, and I join with the other 
members of the House in congratulating them.

                          ____________________
