                        TRIBUTE TO CHRIS TEAHAN

  Mr. MARSHALL. Mr. President, I rise today to honor and recognize 
Chris Teahan of Leawood, KS.
  Chris was one of the outstanding University of Kansas--KU--players 
who helped lead the team to KU's fourth NCAA Men's Basketball 
Championship. He is a fan favorite who committed to the Jayhawks as a 
guard as a walk-on for the team and has made an impact on the program 
ever since, even earning a spot on the All-Academic Big 12 Second team 
last year. He currently holds a sports management degree and plans to 
pursue a graduate degree as he leaves KU basketball as a super-senior 
and a national champion.
  Chris attributes a lot of his success to his mom for pushing him to 
be the best. He said he looks back on the time they spent together in 
the gym as special, even if it came in moments he didn't want to be 
there. She knew he had it in him; he just needed to see it, too. I want 
to congratulate and thank Mr. Teahan for all the hours he put into 
practicing and helping form this outstanding team. This victory will 
not be forgotten by Kansans. I ask my colleagues to join me in 
recognizing this wonderful success and wish him nothing but the best in 
the following years.
