     CONGRATULATING VALOR CHRISTIAN GIRLS SWIMMING AND DIVING TEAM

  (Mr. COFFMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Valor 
Christian High School's varsity girls swimming and diving team on their 
4A State championship win.
  It was a thrilling win for Valor. The team scored 320 points to 
catapult past their competitors in the quest for the State championship 
title.
  Senior Brooke Stenstrom showed tremendous leadership and dedication 
in her record-breaking 50-yard freestyle, 100-yard freestyle, and 200 
medley relay, earning her the title of ``Swimmer of the Year'' in the 
State's 4A classification.
  Freshman Abbie Erickson finished fourth in the diving portion of the 
competition, contributing to the team's total points and ultimate State 
win.
  Ms. Lori Stenstrom, the swim team's head coach, led a tremendous 
effort all season long to get the team ready for their State 
championship performance, earning her the title of ``Swimming Coach of 
the Year.''
  I am honored to congratulate these young women on their State 
championship win.
