                         Thursday, May 19, 2016

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Stafford 
High School Boys Track & Field Team from Stafford, TX for winning the 
University Interscholastic League (UIL) Class 4A 2016 State 
championship in Track & Field.
  Despite some inclement weather and difficult opponents, the Stafford 
Spartan Boys Track & Field Team brought home the school's first state 
title since 1992. The team won the championship by defeating 57 other 
schools. The effort was led by impressive performances in the 100 meter 
dash (1st), the 4x200 relay (2nd), the 4x100 relay (4th), the 110 
hurdles (1st), and the High Jump (3rd). We are proud of what these 
young men were able to accomplish and are excited to see what lies 
ahead for them.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to the Stafford High School Boys Track & Field 
Team for all of their success at the UIL State Championships. Keep up 
the great work.
