               IN HONOR OF WOODGROVE GIRLS' LACROSSE TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. BARBARA COMSTOCK

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 20, 2016

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the girls' lacrosse 
team from Woodgrove High School in my District who recently won the 
2016 4A Virginia State Championship. They practiced long hours as a 
team, and this extraordinary achievement shows how far dedication, hard 
work, and commitment to teamwork can take a group as they played 
against some of the best competition in the nation
  Woodgrove girls' lacrosse team has made Virginia's 10th Congressional 
District proud and they have represented us well. Winning a state 
championship attests to their impressive athletic ability, unselfish 
mentality, and determination to succeed. I commend them for their 
tireless dedication to both their school and their teammates, without 
neither of which this could have been possible. It takes a delicate 
combination of superior skill and many hours of practice to win a state 
title. The Woodgrove girls' lacrosse team has certainly earned this 
honor and the lessons learned over the years will valuably serve them 
as they continue on in their lives.
  They finished this year's season with an exceptional 18-3 record. The 
tenacity they brought to each game is truly impressive. This especially 
showed in the championship game as they exhibited their immense skill 
to beat George Mason by 12 points as they cruised to their 3rd straight 
state championship title.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in honoring the 
Woodgrove High School girls' lacrosse team for their achievement and 
representing Virginia's 10th Congressional District with such 
distinction. I wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
