                       Tuesday, November 23, 2021

  Ms. LEGER FERNANDEZ. Madam Speaker, I am pleased to congratulate the 
Zuni Cross-Country Girls Team for winning the District Championships in 
2021. Looking through all of the school's running records, it's clearly 
an amazing community. These runners continue to be a shining example of 
what we women are capable of.
  It is even more remarkable that their success happened during a 
pandemic that has devastated our indigenous communities. They still 
delivered and lived up to expectations making their village proud. The 
team is a gift to the community.
  I extend my warmest wishes for the future of the village. If it's in 
this team's hands, I'm sure Zuni will continue to thrive.
