                        Thursday, April 22, 2010

  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to offer my congratulations 
to the TCU Women's Rifle Team. Last month the team won the 2010 NCAA 
National Championship. This is the first National Championship win 
since 1983 for TCU, so this is a huge victory for both the team and the 
school.
  In addition to the accomplishment of the entire TCU Women's Rifle 
Team, several of the ladies on the team received individual 
distinctions. Freshman Sarah Scherer won the individual National 
Championship in the smallbore rifle portion of the competition. Senior 
Erin Lorenzen was honored as the Most Outstanding Athlete of the 
championship. These two TCU ladies were also honored as All-American 
athletes. Sarah Beard, Caitlin Morrissey, and Simone Riford received 
All-American athlete honors as well.
  It is evident that the TCU Women's Rifle Team is a very skilled and 
accomplished group. Head coach Karen Monez has done an excellent job of 
leading the team. This National Championship is the height of 
achievement for the team, which has had phenomenal success for the past 
several years under the leadership of Coach Monez. I am confident that 
their success will continue.
  Again, I congratulate the entire TCU Women's Rifle Team on their 
National Championship win. They have made their entire school and all 
of Fort Worth proud.
