          2024 NOTRE DAME MEN'S LACROSSE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

  (Mr. YAKYM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YAKYM. Madam Speaker, I rise to celebrate the University of Notre 
Dame men's lacrosse team who, 1 week ago today, won their second 
straight national championship.
  Madam Speaker, we all know that the sequel is rarely better than the 
original, but that wasn't the case last Monday as my family and I 
watched the Fighting Irish beat the Maryland Terrapins in dominant 
fashion in Philly.
  With their impressive 15-5 win, the Irish became the first D1 men's 
lacrosse team to capture back-to-back titles since the Duke Blue Devils 
did so a decade ago.
  Across college athletics, Notre Dame is renowned for their slogan 
``play like a champion today.''
  That is exactly what the Irish men did almost all season long, going 
16-1 overall, and ending the year on an exhilarating 14-game win 
streak.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate Head Coach Kevin Corrigan and all the 
Irish for bringing more championship hardware back to our region. I 
thank them for making Notre Dame a national champion once again.
  God bless and go Irish.
