Greeks began a series of competitions that would develop into an 
international tradition of incredible scale. The Olympic Games serve as 
an opportunity to demonstrate athletic and mental ability, strength, 
and spirit for both individuals and nations. The Olympics bring 
millions of diverse people together, all with one hope: to see their 
country win. For our Nation, the Olympic Games help us to find our 
common ground and allow us to come together to support the young men 
and women who represent our great country.
  I am honored to recognize the outstanding individuals from Orange 
County that will represent our Nation this summer in London, England. 
For their patriotism and excellence in athletics, I'd like to recognize 
JW Kumpholz (Water Polo), Courtney Mathewson (Water Polo), Lauren 
Wenger (Water Polo), Samuel Mikulak (Gymnastics), Tyler Clary 
(Swimming), Kate Ziegler (Swimming), Russell Holmes (Volleyball), David 
Lee (Volleyball), Paul Lotman (Volleyball), David Smith (Volleyball), 
Donald Suxho (Volleyball), Brian Thorton (Volleyball), David McKienzie 
(Volleyball), Clay Stanley (Volleyball), Sean Rooney (Volleyball), 
Danielle Scott (Volleyball), Jordan Larson (Volleyball), Matt Anderson 
(Volleyball), and Reid Priddy (Volleyball). We are all proud of you.
  Thank you again, and good luck to each of you. Bring home the gold 
for Team U.S.A.
