                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 14, 2022

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Illini 
Bluffs High School Softball Team as Illinois High School Association 
(IHSA) Class 1A State Champions.
  The Illini Bluffs Softball team is no stranger to excelling when it 
comes to competition. The team has continued the legacy of competing in 
and winning the Class 1A State Championship for the second year in a 
row. The team now has two titles in Class 1A and are only one of two 
teams to do so since 2010. They are also the only team to have had a 
no-hitter finish in a State Title game since 1999. As a former student 
athlete, I commend them for their hard work and dedication.
  I am incredibly proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District 
and the student athletes of Illini Bluffs High School. Madam Speaker, I 
would like to formally congratulate Illini Bluffs again on winning the 
Illinois High School Association Class 1A State Championships for 
Softball.
