 CONGRATULATING THE PENNSYLVANIA UNIVERSITY NITANNY LION FENCING TEAM 
                    FOR WINNING 13TH NATIONAL TITLE

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate the Pennsylvania State University Nitanny Lion Fencing 
Team. On Sunday, the team won their 13th NCAA championship which took 
place in Columbus, Ohio. Beating out the second-place Princeton 
University team, which totaled 159 bout victories, the Nitanny Lions 
completed the competition with 180 bout victories.
  On the individual level, Kaito Streets, a sophomore, claimed the 
men's sabre NCAA championship, becoming the 13th individual champion 
for the team. As a result of this title win, Penn State fencing is now 
the winningest fencing program in the NCAA.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to offer my praise to these student athletes, 
along with head coach Wes Glon, for their hard work and determination. 
The University and the Happy Valley community are extremely proud of 
your efforts, and we congratulate you on another amazing season.
