                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 11, 2009

  Mr. LATTA. Madam Speaker, it is with a great deal of pride that I 
rise to pay a very special tribute to an outstanding high school track 
and field team in Ohio's Fifth Congressional District. The young men of 
Eastwood High School's Track and Field team have represented their 
school and families ably on their way to achieving their first ever 
State Track and Field Championship.
  In their effort to surpass all other teams in the Division II State 
Track and Field Championship, the Eastwood Eagles overcame the 
challenges posed by injuries and intense competition.
  In their bid for the State Title, the Eastwood High Boys Team 
produced 4 All-Ohio performances from individuals on the team. In 
winning the Ohio State Division II Track and Field Championship, the 
members of this very special team have shown that their sport requires 
an individual effort for a team result. As a direct consequence of 
their hard work and dedication on and off the track, both their efforts 
and their results were outstanding.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in paying special 
tribute to the Eastwood High School Boys Track Team. Our communities 
are well served by the type of effort and perseverance demonstrated by 
these young men. On behalf of the people of the Fifth District of Ohio, 
I am proud to recognize this great achievement.
