     CONGRATULATING ST. XAVIER HIGH SCHOOL SWIMMING AND DIVING TEAM

  (Mr. WENSTRUP asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the incredible 
success of the St. Xavier High School swimming and diving team and to 
congratulate them on winning their 44th State championship. The 
dedication and hard work of these talented athletes is second to none, 
as they have claimed 24 of the last 26 State championships, 4 of the 
last 5, and 44 out of the last 54.
  The St. Xavier High School swimming and diving team, the Bombers, or 
Aqua Bombers as they are also known, won their most recent championship 
with a score of 302 points, beating out the runners-up by 73 points.
  The Bombers were led by Ohio Second District native Max Ward, who 
brought home first place finishes in the 100-meter butterfly and the 
200-meter freestyle.
  As a member of the St. Xavier ``Long Blue Line'' and a swimmer alum, 
I want to congratulate the talented swimmers, divers, and coaches on 
this incredible feat.
  If they made it look easy, it was because it wasn't. Go Bombers.
