                       Monday, February 22, 2010

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Collinsville 
High School girls bowling team.
  This outstanding and competitive group captured the Illinois High 
School Association's state championship in February by bowling a team 
total of 12,450 points, or an average of 207.5 per bowler. This is the 
first Collinsville High School championship since 1992 and the first 
girls state championship in the school's history. Special recognition 
went to Collinsville High School senior Frannie Steiner who bowled the 
top individual score at the state finals, finishing with a 229.7 
average.
  I join with the Members of this House in commending coach Sean Hay on 
his outstanding work with this team and congratulating the members of 
the Illinois state championship bowling team: Frannie Steiner, Katie 
Beauchamp, Lisa Graham, Brittany Warner, Sara Bell, Liz Huffman, Amber 
Burns and Elizabeth Beauchamp. I wish them all the best in their future 
endeavors.
