                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 18, 2024

  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I use today to recognize and congratulate 
the Russellville High School Quiz Bowl Team for their outstanding 
achievement in winning their first national title at the National 
Academic Championship tournament. On Sunday afternoon, these bright 
young students brought home a victory that will be remembered as a 
milestone in the history of Russellville High School.
  The Cyclones demonstrated their exceptional intellect and teamwork by 
going undefeated, 6-0, in their regional tournament held in May in New 
Orleans, Louisiana. Their journey to the national title was marked by 
impressive victories over formidable opponents, including teams from 
Corpus Christi, Texas; Little Rock Central; an international team from 
Dubai, India; and Parkland High School in Pennsylvania.
  The members of this championship team, Will Stump, Keegan Fuller, Ian 
Warnick, Matthew Fox, Gidian Fuller, and Alyx Dunaway, have showcased 
remarkable dedication and academic excellence. Their success is a 
testament to their hard work and commitment. I would also like to 
commend their head coach, Mr. Steven Quoss, and assistant coaches, Ms. 
Rebecca Quoss and Mr. Andrew Taylor, whose leadership and guidance were 
instrumental in this achievement.
  This victory not only brings great pride to Russellville High School 
and will also inspire students throughout our community and state. The 
achievements of the Russellville High School Quiz Bowl Team highlight 
the importance of academic competitions in fostering a spirit of 
inquiry and distinction among our youth.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the Russellville 
High School Quiz Bowl Team on their national championship. We celebrate 
their success and look forward to their future accomplishments.
