       CONGRATULATING DUCHESNE HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS' WRESTLING TEAM

  (Mr. KENNEDY of Utah asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KENNEDY of Utah. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with great pride to 
congratulate the Duchesne High School girls' wrestling team on their 
remarkable achievement of winning the 1A/2A State championship.
  I also recognize their coach, Shane Ivie, for being honored with the 
prestigious title of Outstanding Coach of the Year.
  Individual champions include Breann Ivie, Ariana Jones, McKenlee 
Sprecher, Daniella Spencer, and Abigail Woods. Additionally, Duchesne's 
Leah Ivie and Altamont's Preslee Thacker each earned second-place 
finishes in their respective categories.
  Their success is a testament to their resilience as they overcame 
countless challenges along the way. Breann Ivie faced serious heart 
issues; Daniella Spencer competed with a broken arm; and Ariana Jones, 
with profound strength and courage, competed while mourning the recent 
passing of her mother.
  These young women embody the values of hard work, perseverance, and 
grit. I am in awe of their determination and spirit. They have shown us 
what true resilience looks like.
  We are incredibly proud to have such talented and dedicated 
individuals representing Utah's Third District. Their success is not 
just their own. It reflects the strength and character of our 
community.
