  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Jacksonville State University Women's Bowling Team for winning the NCAA 
Division I National Title in the program's first season.
  On April 13th, The Jacksonville State Gamecocks beat Arkansas State 
in a best-of-seven match to secure their title win. The game was played 
at Thunderbowl Lanes in Alley Park, Michigan.
  Impressively, the Gamecocks completed this accomplishment in the 
program's first year. This is the first national championship for 
Jacksonville State in over thirty years and the first ever at the 
Division I level.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Coach Shannon O'Keefe, 
the Jacksonville State University Women's Bowling team, students, 
faculty, and all the fans. Go Gamecocks.

                          ____________________
