  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Lemont High 
School Varsity Cheerleading Squad. On February 8th, the squad competed 
in the 2014 IHSA Medium Division Cheerleading State Championship at the 
U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington, IL and placed 1st in their 
division. I appreciate all of the incredible hard work and dedication 
this squad has put into their performance and would like to 
congratulate them on this tremendous team achievement.
  The Lemont High School Varsity Squad comprises 19 members which 
includes Seniors: Madison Detres, Emily Durham, Gianna Letizia, Miranda 
Neumann, Rebecca Peraino, Kelsey Tate, Gianna Turek, and D.J. Wohead, 
Juniors: Easton Kral, Reann Kwasneski, Elly Lambert, Nicole Markley, 
Stephanie Markley, Kayly Norris, Samantha Palumbo, Jenna Polk, and 
Samantha Walus, Sophomores: Erin Cliff and Katelyn Papierski, and 
Freshman: Caitlyn Henry.
  This squad under the guidance of head coach Dave Erlenbaugh, has had 
a very successful competition season leading up to the ISHA 
Cheerleading State Championships. Notable wins include their 1st place 
finish at both Sectionals and the Winter Meltdown Competition.
  Lemont's varsity squad has made 9 consecutive final appearances at 
the IHSA State Championships and won the title in 2009, 2010, and 2011. 
This most recent win only adds to their excellent competition record.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing this 
impressive accomplishment made by the Lemont High School Varsity 
Cheerleading Squad and to congratulate them on their state championship 
win.
