                         RECOGNIZING FC WICHITA

 Mr. MARSHALL. Madam President, I rise today to honor and 
recognize FC Wichita's 12-year-old youth girls' soccer team.
  FC Wichita's 12-year-old youth girls' soccer team recently took the 
first place title at the U.S. Cup Championship in Blaine, MN. This win 
is one of the most prestigious victories a youth team can attain, 
making their team the first in the history of the FC Wichita program to 
win a U.S. Cup Championship title. FC Wichita went undefeated in five 
games, which included a 2-1 victory over JaHbat FC in the semifinals 
and a 3-2 victory in penalty kicks over Minnesota's Manitou FC in 
Saturday's championship game. The U.S. Cup title was the cherry on top 
of an outstanding summer for the FC Wichita girls' team in which they 
also won the Real Colorado Cup.
  It is my honor to congratulate FC Wichita on such a wonderful season, 
and I would like to recognize both the players and the coaches for 
their hard work in this season. Their numerous accomplishments have 
made the great State of Kansas proud.
  I now ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the FC Wichita's 
12-year-old youth girls' soccer team for their outstanding athletic 
accomplishments and the determination displayed during their U.S. Cup 
Championship victory.
