                           HON. JOHN SHIMKUS

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 10, 2008

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Madam Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to an 
outstanding group of women from Lewis and Clark Community College who 
last week completed an amazing soccer season by winning the National 
Junior College Athletic Association Division 1 National Championship.
  The Lewis and Clark Trailblazers defeated previously unbeaten Darton 
College by a score of 3-2 on November 3, 2008 to cap off a 27-1 season, 
thereby setting an NJCAA record for most wins in a single season.
  My congratulations go to head coach Tim Rooney, assistant coaches 
Ryan Hodge and Meghan Rooney, and the members of the 2008 National 
Champion Trailblazers: Taylor Bivens, Nicole Yaun, Brittany St. John, 
Liz Pivin, Molly Kellett, Meredith Morkel, Sarah Schultenhenrich, Kim 
Kahre, Bridget Belli, Kaylee Neutzling, Jennifer Vandever, Mallory 
Morkel, Kelly Musenfechter, Bianca Busch, Jessica Randazzo, Emily 
Winschel, Jamie Beuhrle, Kristin Pelley, Emily Silorski, and Danielle 
Lucks.
  These women represented themselves, their families and their 
community in a first-class fashion, and I wish them all the best in 
their future endeavors, both on and off the field.

                          ____________________
