                 CONGRATULATIONS TO EDINA GIRLS TENNIS

  (Mr. PAULSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, if it is fall, it means it is time for 
another Edina High School girls tennis State title. For the 19th year 
in a row, the Hornets won the Minnesota State championship. This year 
concluded with a very hard-fought victory over Prior Lake.
  Despite Edina's previous success, this year's title was never a sure 
thing, as the team needed to rebound from an early season loss. Led by 
strong performances in singles by Sophia Reddy and in doubles by Katie 
Engelking and Nicole Copeland, the Hornets came out with a 5-2 victory.
  Mr. Speaker, it is exciting to see the commitment from these athletes 
as they compete at a high level year in and year out while still 
excelling in school and setting aside time for family and other 
commitments. The parents, family members, friends, fans, and coaches 
are all very proud of what they have accomplished.
  Congratulations, again, to the Edina High School girls tennis team 
for winning the State championship.
