                         HON. MICHAEL N. CASTLE

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 6, 2010

  Mr. CASTLE. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise 
today to recognize Aynsley Taylor Inglis, a Delaware native, who has 
been selected to compete in the International Ballet Competition this 
summer. This competition is the most prestigious international 
competition held in North America, with contestants from around the 
globe competing every four years in an Olympic style event. This is 
truly a remarkable accomplishment, as Miss Inglis' selection to this 
competition distinguishes her as being among the elite professional 
ballerinas in the world.
  As a participant in the International Ballet Competition held in 
Jackson, Mississippi, Aynsley will represent the First State Ballet 
Theatre, her home State of Delaware, and the United States of America. 
She will be one of only six American competitors in a field of 39 
professional female ballerinas from around the world. According to the 
USA International Ballet Competition Executive Director, Sue Lobrano, 
there were a record number of applicants for this year's event, making 
it the most competitive year in the history of the prestigious 
competition.
  I commend Aynsley for her hard work and tireless dedication to 
achieving excellence within her profession, and because of her 
commitment to excellence, she is truly deserving of this great honor. I 
have the utmost confidence that Aynsley will make us proud by 
representing our State and Nation with grace and poise.
