                      ALAMOSA HIGH SCHOOL TRIBUTE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. SCOTT R. TIPTON

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 1, 2011

  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Alamosa High 
School wrestling team and coach Gary Ramstetter. Alamosa's Mean Moose 
claimed their first Class 3A state wrestling title, with eight 
wrestlers placing in the top four and an individual title won by Darin 
Sisneros. It was Mr. Ramstetter's eighth state title with the school, 
and earned him Coach of the Year honors.
  Alamosa finished the tournament with a commanding 178 points, the 
closest competitor scoring only 122\1/2\. The victory represents a true 
team effort with every wrestler fighting for every point. Mr. Sisneros' 
individual title is also the 48th won by a student during coach 
Ramstetter's 30 year tenure, a testament to the hard work and 
motivation of both men.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Alamosa's wrestling team and their 
legendary coach. Under his expert guidance, I have no doubt that 
Alamosa can win many more state titles and continue its legacy of 
success both in the classroom and on the mat.
