         CELEBRATING GRAND JUNCTION HIGH SCHOOL KNOWLEDGE BOWL

  (Mr. HURD of Colorado asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HURD of Colorado. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 
victory of the Grand Junction High School Knowledge Bowl team in the 
2025 Colorado State championship.
  This marks the school's 26th State title and its second consecutive 
win of the Governor's Cup.
  Competing against 60 teams from across Colorado, the team earned top 
honors in both the 4A classification and the overall Governor's Cup. 
This accomplishment confirms Grand Junction High School's standing as 
the leading academic team in the State of Colorado.
  As a former member of this team, I can speak to the dedication, 
teamwork, and intellectual discipline required to succeed in this 
competition.
  The Knowledge Bowl challenges students in a broad range of subjects, 
including mathematics, science, literature, and history. It demands 
academic skill, focus, collaboration, and resilience.
  The team members and their coaches have achieved something 
exceptional. Their success reflects the strength of their preparation 
and sets a powerful example of academic excellence for communities 
across Colorado.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the GJHS Tigers.
