                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 31, 2008

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a great achievement 
by the Boone High School Girls' tennis team in Boone, Iowa. BHS won the 
2008 Iowa Class 2-A State High School team championship.
  The Toreadors completed a perfect season with a record of 15-0. In 
addition, senior MaryPat McMullan is the class 2-A Girls State Singles 
champion, and the Toreador doubles team of Maggi Schutte and Traci 
Moklestad is the Class 2-A third place doubles finisher. The example 
set by these young ladies and their coach, Shawn Latimer, demonstrates 
the rewards of hard work, dedication and determination. They scored 
victories on the court and have positively represented their community 
and school off it as well. Their triumph is an honor that we all can 
admire and be proud of.
  I am honored to represent the members of the BHS varsity girls' 
tennis team: MaryPat McMullan, Maggi Schutte, Traci Moklestad, Lindsay 
Greiner, Hannah Worall, Julia Stockhausen, Corinne Frei, Jorden Foster, 
Leah Redeker, Rachel Hinds, Emily Boehm, Audrey Reinken and their 
coach, Shawn Latimer in the United States Congress. I know that all of 
my colleagues in Congress join me in congratulating the Toreadors on 
their State championship and wishing all these young ladies continued 
success in their future endeavors.
