                        Wednesday, June 23, 2010

  Mr. SKELTON. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to inform the House that 
on Saturday, May 22, 2010, the Wellington-Napoleon High School Tigers 
boys track and field team became the 2010 Missouri Class 1 High School 
State Champions.
  The Tigers competed in a field of more than 120 teams throughout the 
state of Missouri. The hard work and dedication that these young men 
displayed throughout the season was rewarded with their high school's 
first track and field championship in 19 years. This is a truly 
remarkable achievement, and I am so very proud of these young men and 
their selfless coaches.
  Members of the team include: Ethan Arndt, Nathan Ardnt, Cody Banner, 
Blaine Beissenherz, Christian Bryant, Taylor Bryant, Johnny Good, 
Brandon Niendick, Dylon Register, Blake Seitz, Dustin Seitz, Michael 
Strickler, Brian Wallman, Cody Willard, and Michael Woodall. The team 
was coached by Quenton Bainbridge, Michelle McKown, and Tristan Layman.
  Madam Speaker, the members of the Wellington-Napoleon High School 
Tigers track and field team have distinguished themselves as the 2010 
Missouri Class 1 High School Track and Field State Champions. I am sure 
that my colleagues will join me in wishing Coaches Bainbridge, McKown, 
and Layman and this remarkable team all the best.
