                         Monday, July 15, 2024

  Mrs. KIGGANS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and 
congratulate the Grassfield High School Women's Track team on winning 
the Class 6 Women's State Track Championship.
  As their Congresswoman, I am proud of these young athletes and their 
recent achievement.
  Located in Chesapeake, Virginia, the Grassfield High School Grizzley 
Bears were able to bring the Class 6 Women's State Track Championship 
back home to their fellow students, faculty, families, and friends 
through their hard work and dedication to their team. The Grassfield 
High School Women's Track team star runner, sophomore Sophie Ranbo, 
took home three top place positions in the 100 meter, 200 meter, and 
400 meter dashes. Head coach, James Nixon, led this group of young 
women to victory and concluded a great season.
  As a former athlete myself, I want each of these young women to know 
Virginia's 2nd District is extremely proud of their accomplishment and 
applauds them on their well-earned victory. Again, congratulations to 
the Grassfield High School Women's Track Team on winning the Class 6 
Women's State Track Championship.
