  Mr. TIPTON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Coal Ridge 
Titans' co-ed cheer team for winning the 3A Cheer Spirit state 
championship in Denver. Their All-Girls team also placed second in the 
All-Girls category.
  In total, the Titan's co-ed team scored 78.05 points over the 
opposing Strasburg, which scored 71.12 points. Bayfield placed third 
and Alamosa placed fourth in the state championship spirit competition. 
The Titan's success is a testament to their strength, teamwork, and 
dedication. Team members included: Kyla Boyd, Andrea Jurado, Pilar 
Pagni, Kalicia MacGregor, Haven Prodzinski, Cipriana Dacuma, Paige 
Stecklein, Christian Vasquez, Hartleigh Porter, Madison Balizan, Tana 
Couey, Tori Byers, Brayden Kammers, Nathan Tomasello, Nicole Elliott, 
Lacey Peterson, Annikya Wight.
  Alongside the co-ed team, the All-Girls Coal Ridge cheer team placed 
second overall in the state with an overall score of 68.02. Only four 
of the 19 girls on the team had formal cheer experience, which made 
their win especially significant. Their endless work-ethic and ability 
to overcome adversity, which culminated in their ultimate success, 
should make them proud. For many of the team's players, this win is the 
achievement of a goal they have worked towards for years. I commend 
their coaches and each member of the team for their sportsmanship and 
competitive spirit. Team members included: Olivia Oldham, Litzy 
Martinez, Litzy Rivera, Morgan Bilodeay, Jinessa Hayden, Valerie 
Capraro, Samantha Sarmiento, Samantha Copeland, Leila Green, Natalie 
Smyth, Aurie Madrid, Savannah Madrid, Denisse Ortega, Odalys Quezada, 
Brynlee Elswick, Phoebe Young, Cara Groves, Rhaya Carmichael, Sydney 
Stanley.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to have these incredible students call the 
Third Congressional District in Western Colorado home, and I offer my 
sincere congratulations. I wish them luck in their future endeavors, 
and I am eager to see what they will accomplish going forward.
