                           HON. JOHN SHIMKUS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 23, 2017

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to congratulate 
Charleston High School for winning the 2017 IHSA Class 2A Boys State 
Golf Tournament.
  In their State Championship effort, the Trojans set a new school 
record by six strokes with a team score of 599 over the two day 
tournament. The members of the Charleston High School Golf team 
dedicated their State Championship, like they had their entire 2017 
season, to their classmate and friend Jordan Holly, who passed away 
this past May. I commend these young people for selflessly honoring 
others during one of their greatest achievements.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to extend my congratulations to the Head Coach 
Randy Hapster and to team members Keegan Gowin, Ben Lanman, Robert 
Rardin, Preston Smith, Blake Wolfe, and Zach Will. They should all be 
very proud of their accomplishments this season and I wish them nothing 
but the best for the future.
