  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Turner College 
and Career High School's (TCCHS) horse judging team who recently 
claimed the first-ever state title for Pearland Future Farmers of 
America (FFA).
  The team comprised of Rachel Golla, Jessica Harper, Andrea Skweres, 
and Evann Wehman, competed against 72 other teams at the State Horse 
Judging Career Development Event. The teammates evaluated and ranked 
four horses in eight classes. After evaluating the horses, the team 
answered a series of questions. Their knowledge of appearance, breed 
characteristics, and athletic ability were really put to the test. This 
is a great victory for their veterinary science teacher, Jessica 
Koetting, and the rest of TCCHS. We are excited to see you represent 
Texas this October in the national competition.
  On behalf of the residents of the Twenty-Second Congressional 
District of Texas, congratulations again to the TCCHS horse judging 
team for bringing home a state title for Pearland FFA. You have made 
your community proud.
