                         Monday, April 3, 2017

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Dulles High 
School Academic Decathlon team of Sugar Land, TX, for winning the Texas 
State Academic Decathlon.
  This was the Dulles High Academic Decathlon teams' first decathlon 
state championship since 1987. The theme of the competition was World 
War II, where students were tested in economics, literature, 
mathematics, music, science and social science. Three team members 
earned individual recognition as well: Madison Gabino receiving first 
place in the Scholastic Division, Ethan Tu in second, and Jared Roth in 
fifth place. Dulles High is the only team in the Fort Bend Independent 
School District to ever win a State Academic Decathlon title, let alone 
two.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, I 
want to again congratulate the Dulles High School Academic Decathlon 
team for winning the Texas State Academic Decatholon. We are very proud 
of their success.
