             NASHVILLE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL'S QUIZ BOWL TEAM

 Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, today I recognize Nashville 
Junior High School in my home State of Arkansas for winning the Junior 
High Quiz Bowl National Championship in New Orleans, LA, earlier this 
summer. Along with all Arkansas, I congratulate the Nashville team for 
this tremendous accomplishment.
  Under the leadership of coach Tammy Alexander, the school competed in 
the event as two separate teams, A team and B team.
  The A team came out national champions with the only undefeated 
record of 9-0 at the tournament. The group included Jonathon Lance, 
Hayden Kirchhoff, Cameron Alexander, Alex Perrin, Alex Kwok and Tyler 
Tollett. I also wish to recognize student Jonathon Lance, who was named 
national MVP at the tournament.
  The B team included Luke Dawson, Blake Hockaday, Kathleen Lance, 
Sydney Hughes, Braden Bowman, Nicole Drummond and Dillon Roberts.
  I am proud of the hard work and talent of these students, who 
exemplify the best of our state. Not only are they to be commended for 
achieving this championship, they are also to be commended for their 
teamwork and dedication to sportsmanship and education. They set a fine 
example for all Arkansas students, and I commend them for their 
exemplary efforts.
  I also salute the entire community of Nashville for providing support 
and encouragement to these young students. Nashville is a strong, 
thriving community, and I am proud of the community's efforts to 
encourage education and learning.
  I join all Nashville residents in congratulating the Junior High 
School Quiz Bowl Team on this significant achievement.
