  Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Spring 
Grove Area High School rocketry team for their victory in the national 
championship hosted by NASA.
  The team has been working meticulously since last August perfecting 
their design, and to great effect. Despite their team's small size 
relative to the competition, they worked closely as a team to win 
against all odds, beating out 800 students from 21 states.

  Team captain Alex Fiorillo said it best: ``take every opportunity you 
have and . . . you might end up making history.'' This group certainly 
did.
  To the team members: Alex Fiorillo, Dylan Tichy, Max Trimmer, Wyatt 
Amspacher, Sage Dewall, Haley Hake, and Eli Hoke--congratulations on 
this incredible feat. I wish them all continued success in all their 
future endeavors.
