  Mr. RIGELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding 
accomplishments of the Terminal Velocity team from the Cities of 
Franklin and Virginia Beach, Virginia. Team members Steve Motley, Steve

for an unprecedented fourth consecutive year, won the Operations

other teams in a series of five water utility operations and 
maintenance events that demonstrate the variety of skills necessary to 
operate a modern water utility. They are joined today by Team HRSD of 
the Hampton Roads Sanitation Districts, winners of the competition's 
Division 2. Team members Kevin Hafner, Jason Hobor, Laura Laxa, and Tim 
Scott are also talented water quality professionals that provide a 
vital service to their community. I congratulate Terminal Velocity and 
Team HRSD for their commitment to high levels of professionalism and 
their efforts to protect environmental quality and public health.
