 CONGRATULATING NEBRASKA'S THEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL NATIONAL SCIENCE BOWL 
                                  TEAM

  (Mr. SMITH of Nebraska asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Nebraska's Thedford High School National Science Bowl Team on winning 
their regional competition and securing a position in next week's 
tournament in our Nation's capital.
  The National Science Bowl is one of the largest and most prestigious 
academic competitions, having been created in 1991 by the Office of 
Science within the U.S. Department of Energy.
  Our team from Thedford High School, comprised of students David 
Gordon, Andrew Gordon, Rhiannon Painter, Kalee Jepsen, and Ariel 
Bryant, and led by Coach Geri Smith, brings pride to Nebraska's Third 
District.
  I know the constituents I represent join me in wishing them well as 
they begin the tournament on Sunday, April 29, 2018. On behalf of the 
people of Nebraska's Third District, I commend the Thedford High School 
National Science Bowl Team for this noteworthy accomplishment, and wish 
them well in the competition.
  Go Knights.
