                        Thursday, July 20, 2017

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Freeport 
High School Boys Track and Field team for earning the Class 2A Illinois 
State Championship.
  The Freeport Boys Track and Field team scored 37 points and defeated 
over seventy other teams to win the title. Their dedication and passion 
for their sport meant that they were determined to win gold. As a 
former athlete, I understand the amount of hard work and commitment to 
be awarded such a title. The Freeport Track and Field team is an 
example of the importance of dedication and a strong work ethic. I am 
proud there is such young talent in our community, and to see them 
represent Freeport throughout the state.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate the Freeport 
Boys Track and Field team on their title, and I join the rest of the 
community in wishing them every success in the future.

                          ____________________
