    CONGRATULATING THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS FORT SMITH RIFLE TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN BOOZMAN

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 14, 2009

  Mr. BOOZMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate the Lion Rifles 
Team from the University of Arkansas Fort Smith for its well deserved 
rank as the fifth-best collegiate team in the country in the National 
Rifle Association's Intercollegiate International Air Rifle standings.
  For the past two years the UA Fort Smith Air Rifle Team has proven 
itself by placing in the top five teams in the nation. A small school 
like UAFS can be proud to see its team ranked among major universities 
like Penn State, Clemson, Illinois State and Michigan State. This team 
provides a great opportunity for many college students to become well-
rounded. These students serve as good examples for others, as they 
accomplish their academic goals while achieving success on the rifle 
range. These members should be proud of the reward they experience from 
their hard work.
  Members of the team who deserve credit for this high ranking are 
Elizabeth Garris, Tom Nguyen, J.D. Peronia, Morgan Welch and John 
Wozniak. These sharp shooters are led by Roy Hill, who works hard to 
equip each individual to succeed. I congratulate each member of the 
University of Arkansas-Fort Smith Air Rifle Team on their success and 
wish them the best of luck in future competitions.

                          ____________________
