              IN HONOR OF THE CHANTILLY BOYS' TENNIS TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. BARBARA COMSTOCK

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, July 1, 2016

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the boys' tennis team 
from Chantilly High School in my District who recently won the 2016 6A 
Virginia State Championship. They practiced long hours as a team, and 
this 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.
  The Chantilly boys' tennis 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 Chantilly boys' tennis team has certainly earned 
this honor and the lessons learned over the years will valuably serve 
them as they continue on in their lives.
  Chantilly came into the state championship as just the three seed in 
the 6A North region tournament and had to beat the three higher seeded 
teams than them simply to qualify for the tournament. They finished the 
season with a record of 7-3, but came into the state tournament hungry 
for a state title and beat Cosby 5-3 to become Chantilly's most 
successful boys' tennis team.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in honoring the 
Chantilly boys' tennis team for their achievement and representing 
Virginia's 10th Congressional District with such distinction. I wish 
them all the best in their future endeavors.
