             HONORING EMBRY-RIDDLE AERONAUTICAL UNIVERSITY

  (Mr. FINE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the women's 
rowing team at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University on their first-ever 
national championship as a rowing team and to recognize the university 
for its first-ever national championship since it joined the NCAA II 
era.
  They won this race, rowing more than a mile, 2000 meters, in Mercer 
Lake, New Jersey. If we think about it, that is a long way to row. I 
understand this. I have two sons who are rowers. It is a very, very 
challenging sport. I congratulate them for doing it.
  Not only did they win the national championship but Head Coach Grant 
Maddock earned the Sunshine State Conference Coach of the Year honors.
  Soleil Edwards, my son's former teammate, was named winner of the 
NCAA ELITE 90 award. This means she had the highest GPA of anyone 
rowing at that national championship.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate them, and I wish them the best of luck in 
the season ahead.
