                         Tuesday, June 14, 2022

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Rockridge 
High School Girls Softball team for their win at the Illinois High 
School Association (IHSA) State Championships.
  The unbeaten Rockridge Rockets won 64 games before competing in IHSA 
State Championship game. The ladies took a chance on their winning 
streak and came back from a 4-0 deficit with grit and determination. 
The Rockridge Rockets are the first team in IHSA history to finish as 
undefeated State Champions in back-to-back seasons. The team never gave 
up and accomplished a goal they set out for themselves at the beginning 
of the season. As a former athlete, I commend their hard work and 
dedication to their team.
  The Rockets athletic success is remarkable. I am incredibly proud to 
serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District and student-athletes. Madam 
Speaker, I would like to formally congratulate the Rockridge Rockets 
again on winning the Illinois High School Association 2A State 
Championships for Softball.
