            HONORING THE ATHLETIC ACHIEVEMENT OF JAMES GREEN

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JON RUNYAN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 31, 2011

  Mr. RUNYAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of James Green. 
A senior wrestler at Willingboro High School, James Green won the 145-
pound division of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic 
Association (NJSIAA) Wrestling State Championship Meet on Sunday March 
6, 2011 at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall.
  James Green is the first wrestler in Willingboro High School history 
to win a NJSIAA Wrestling State Championship. Only 30 seconds into the 
championship match, James had his first take-down. He went on to have 
five more take-downs and a reversal in the second period, which enabled 
him to achieve this historic victory.
  I would like to extend my congratulations to James for his tremendous 
hard work and discipline. I would also like to congratulate James on 
finishing his senior year undefeated, with a record of 29-0. James 
finishes his impressive high school wrestling career with a record of 
146-8.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in celebrating the achievement of James 
Green in capturing the 2011 NJSIAA Wrestling State Championship and 
finishing the year undefeated. I ask you to join me in thanking James' 
coaches and teammates, as well as the teachers and student body of 
Willingboro High School, members of the Willingboro community and most 
especially James' family in lending their support to this incredible 
student-athlete. I wish James continued success in all his future 
endeavors.
