                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN SHIMKUS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 28, 2017

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Mahomet-Seymour 
High School Boys Cross Country Team, who are the 2017 Class 2A Illinois 
team cross country champions.
  Mahomet-Seymour won the meet with 91 points, easily outdistancing its 
nearest competitor, as its three top-ten finishers, Mathias Powell 
(4th), Riley Fortune (6th), and Ryan Hodge (9th), powered the team to 
victory. But this was a team effort and a team victory as the 
outstanding efforts by Bryson Keeble, Evan Burge, Kaelan Davis, and 
Nate Douglas also contributed to the win.
  I would like to congratulate the entire Mahomet-Seymour Boys Cross 
Country Team on their victory: Evan Burge, Joe Churm, Riley Fortune, 
Ryan Hodge, Kyle Sheehy, Garrett Williams, Kaelan Davis, Nate Douglas, 
Bryson Keeble, Keil Ledin, Caleb Mason, Jack McHale, Mathias Powell, 
David Wilcoski,

Gaven Williams, Caleb Dowers, and Joe Taylor, as well as Head Coach 
Neal Garrison, on a superb end to a great season.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor for me to acknowledge the hard work and 
dedication of the Mahomet-Seymour High School Boys Cross Country Team 
in winning the 2017 state cross country title, and I wish the team and 
their coach all the best in the future.
