                        Tuesday, March 12, 2019

  Mr. HASTINGS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Keiser 
University men's swimming team and their coach Adam Epstein on winning 
the 2019 National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) 
national title.
  Coach Esptein leads by example. His dedication to Keiser University 
and its swimming program is truly commendable. Not only has Coach 
Esptein been named Coach of the Year for the second time, since forming 
his team in 2017, but in just three seasons he has led the Seahawks to 
two NAIA national titles.
  This year's championship team had many standout swimmers. Junior 
Marcel Nagy won three events and was named the NAIA Swimmer of the 
Year. Freshman Pol Roch won the 500 meter free-style and set a national 
record in winning the 400 meter individual medley. Lukan Macek and Joel 
Hannson made their teammates proud with their respective performances 
in the 200 breaststroke, and Jan Suchan won his third national 
championship in the 100 meter breaststroke. The Seahawks won all five 
relays in the competition and totaled 622 points to win the national 
title.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate Dr. Arthur and Mrs. 
Belinda Keiser, the Keiser University Seahawks' Swim Team, and Coach 
Adam Epstein on this momentous win. It is my distinct honor to be the 
University's representative in Congress. I wish Keiser University and 
its swimming program many more years of continued success.
