  Mr. RUNYAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 
Willingboro High School Boys Winter Track Team. On February 2, 2011 the 
Willingboro Chimeras captured the New Jersey State Interscholastic 
Athletic Association (NJSIAA) Central Jersey Sectional

Group II Championship Title. After winning the Sectional Group II 
Championship with 61 points, the Willingboro Chimeras went on to place 
third in the New Jersey State Group II Championship Meet.
  During the 2011 Sectional Championship Meet, Chimeras' runner, Darius 
Holmes, won both the 55 Meter Hurdles and 400 Meter Races. Holmes also 
anchored the 1,600 Meter Relay Race alongside teammates Matt Dash, 
Daquan Watson and Isaac Williams. Rounding out the first place finishes 
for the Willingboro Chimeras was Isaac Williams in the high jump 
competition and Traven Mable in the shot put competition.
  I would also like to congratulate Darius Holmes. He won the NJSIAA 
State Group II 400 Meter Race during Willingboro's impressive third 
place finish at the state championship meet. This is Willingboro's 
first state championship title since 2004.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in celebrating the achievement of the 
Willingboro High School Boys Winter Track Team in seizing the 2011 
NJSIAA Central Jersey Sectional Group II Championship Title.
  I ask you to join me in thanking the coaches, teachers and student 
body of Willingboro High School, as well as the parents and local 
community, who all made this victory a reality. I wish the Willingboro 
Chimeras continued success in next year's winter track season.
