  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Needville High 
School's Future Farmers of America (FFA) livestock judging team who 
recently won Reserve Grand National Champion at the Western National 
Roundup in Denver.
  The team, comprised of Kutter Korczynski, Myles Hackstedt, Craig Todd 
and Ty Thomas, competed against other teams from around the country in 
the livestock judging contest. The teammates evaluated and ranked 40 
different animals in 10 classes. After evaluating the livestock, the 
team had to prepare a series of speeches to explain their evaluations. 
This is a great victory for their agriculture science teacher, Michael 
Poe, and the rest of the Blue Jay community. We are excited to see them 
represent Texas at the world competition in Scotland.
  On behalf of the residents of the Twenty-Second Congressional 
District of Texas, congratulations again to the Needville High 
livestock judging team. They have made the community proud.
