              HONORING GLENWOOD HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER PROGRAM

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN SHIMKUS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, July 9, 2009

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor one of the top high 
school soccer programs in Illinois.
  The Titans from Glenwood High School in Chatham, Illinois, took third 
place at the Illinois High School Association Class 2A state finals 
last month. It was the school's third trip to state in six years, and 
it capped off an 18-4-1 season.
  This year's squad avenged last year's loss to Belleville Althoff in 
the super-sectional by winning the rematch and advancing to the state 
finals. Once there, they fell to Lemont 1-0, but bounced back to take a 
2-1 victory over Sycamore in the third place game.
  I want to congratulate head coach Jay Lipe and assistant coaches Greg 
Lipe, Pam Hogan and Bethany Rollet on their success with this group of 
student-athletes. I especially want to congratulate the members of the 
2009 Glenwood Titans' state third place soccer team: Cara Moody, Erin 
Egolf, Sydney Alstott, Ashley Kulavic, Lindsey Koch, Dani Torry, Eryn 
Sullivan, Rylie Sullivan, Ali Traina, Bree Gardner, Annie Kwedar, Jenny 
Mosley, Emily Stockton, Elena Pappas, Abby Vorreyer, Colleen Quick, 
Rachel Kobayashi, Alise Wisniewski, Kaylee Walsh and Abby Juhlin.
  These students have represented themselves, their school and the 
community very well, and I want to join with the other members of this 
House in congratulating them, and wishing them all the best in their 
future endeavors, both on and off the field.

                          ____________________
