                CELEBRATING NORTHEAST COMMUNITY COLLEGE

  (Mr. FLOOD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FLOOD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate one of northeast 
Nebraska's most important institutions, Northeast Community College.
  This year, the NJCAA Men's Soccer National Champions hail from 
Nebraska's First Congressional District, our very own Northeast Hawks.
  Throughout the national tournament, Northeast consistently defied the 
odds. They fought through several close matches, claiming victories 
against teams that had bested them in previous seasons. They even beat 
the odds in the championship game. While ranked fifth, our Hawks 
triumphed with a 2-1 victory over the second-ranked team to secure 
their historic title.
  From Head Coach Adam Potter to every single player, the Hawks have 
displayed remarkable team spirit on their journey to this historic 
success. Their work is a testament to the character and values of our 
national champions, as well as the entire Northeast student community.
  On behalf of Nebraska's First Congressional District, congratulations 
to the Northeast Community College men's soccer team on becoming the 
first in school history to win an NJCAA national title.
