winning the Iowa Class 1A State Cross Country Championship for the

runners.
  I would like to congratulate each member of the team:
  Runners: Brycen Wallace, Skyler Rawlings, Austin Lundy, Joel Blazek, 
Joshua Baudler, Tyler Breheny and Ben Breheny
  Head Coach: Darrell Burmeister

  Mr. Speaker, the example set by these students and their coaches 
demonstrates the rewards of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. I 
am honored to represent them in the United States Congress. I ask that 
all of my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives join 
me in congratulating these young men for their achievements in this 
rigorous competition and wishing them all nothing but continued 
success.
