  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Y Quad 
Cities Rowing program's junior women's crew for winning the Diamond 
Jubilee Challenge Cup at the Henley Royal Regatta in England. This is a 
first for the rowers, who are based out of the Sylvan Boat House in 
Moline, Illinois.
  Coached by Dr. Peter Sharis and Assistant Coach Jamie Whalen, 
scullers Caroline Sharis, Delaney Evans, Emma Mask and Taylor English 
set a new course record at the prestigious regatta on the Thames River, 
becoming one of only two American crews to win at Henley this year and 
the first overseas crew ever to win the Diamond Jubilee Challenge cup. 
This impressive victory followed the team's win at the USRowing Youth 
National Championships in June.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate the Y Quad 
Cities rowers on their title, and I join the rest of the community in 
wishing them every success in the future.

                          ____________________
