                     Wednesday, September 27, 2017

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Sarcoxie High 
School archery team on their recent victory in the National Archery in 
the Schools Program (NASP) tournament in which they were named national 
champions.
  The NASP tournament was held in Louisville, Kentucky. The tournament 
had almost 15,000 young archers competing from 670 different schools. 
Missouri alone had 857 student archers from 45 different schools.
  Sarcoxie's team won the national championship and broke a few records 
in the process. Sarcoxie is also the smallest school to have won this 
prestigious national championship. This outstanding archery team also 
set the record for the highest NASP national tournament team score. The 
team achieved a score of 3,465 out of a possible 3,600. In addition to 
Sarcoxie's achievements, a total of five Missouri schools were in the 
top 10 of this competition
  I am honored to recognize the record setting achievements of the 
Sarcoxie High School archery team. On behalf of Missouri's 7th 
Congressional District, I ask all of my colleagues to join me in 
wishing the Sarcoxie High School archery team many congratulations and 
best wishes for the future.
