  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Rock 
Island Softball Team, the Lady Rocks, from Rock Island High School, for 
earning the Class 4A title for the Illinois State Championship in 
softball.
  The Lady Rocks took first in finals to claim their title as state 
champions, and I would like to recognize them for their tremendous 
accomplishment. Their dedication and passion for their sport meant that 
they were determined to win gold. As a former athlete, I understand the 
amount of hard work and commitment to be awarded such a title. They are 
an example of the importance of dedication and a strong work ethic. I 
am proud there is such young talent in our community, and to see them 
represent Rock Island throughout the state.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate the Rock 
Island Lady Rocks Softball Team on their title, and I join the rest of 
the community in wishing them every success in the future.
