      CONGRATULATING THE ROSELLE PARK PANTHERS YOUTH CHEERLEADERS

  (Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Roselle Park 
Panthers youth cheerleaders. They earned a national championship and a 
bronze medal at the 2019 American Youth Cheer, AYC, national 
championships.
  The AYC championships are divided into more than 20 divisions, from 
small to elite teams. The Roselle Park Panthers won awards in two 
different divisions. First, a squad of cheerleaders aged 10 to 15 years 
old won the division 14 small level 3 national championship. Then a 
team of 7- to 10-year-olds earned a bronze medal for a third-place 
finish in the division 10 small level 2 competition.
  This is the second time in 3 years that Roselle Park has won a 
cheerleading national championship and the third time in the squad's 
history.
  Along the way, the Panthers were crowned Jersey Shore Champions, 
Regional Champions, and Regional Grand Champions. I am extremely proud 
of these young people and their accomplishments, and I look forward to 
hearing what they will do next.
  They are truly winners, and I am proud of Roselle Park, a great part 
of my district.
