                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, September 2, 2025

  Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to congratulate and recognize 
Mushna Subba, Ben Thomas, and Wyatt Clare from Penn Manor High School 
for achieving two first-place finishes in the Sea Air and Land 
Challenge (SEAL) at Millersville University.
  SEAL is a STEM competition sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. 
Millersville University is one of the many schools in the Nation that 
host this program, bringing in teams of high school students from 
across the region. The competition requires that students design and 
build robotic systems to use in challenges mimicking military-inspired 
missions.
  Entering their drone into two challenges designed by the United 
States' finest special operations forces, Ms. Subba, Mr. Thomas, and 
Mr. Clare secured two first-place wins. Their hard work as a team and 
application of their classroom lessons gartered them their victory. 
This achievement marked the second year in a row a Penn Manor High 
School team placed in the top two positions.
  Mr. Speaker, these brilliant young individuals represent our Nation's 
next generation of STEM innovators. They serve as inspirations for 
those around them to pursue opportunities in science, technology, 
engineering, and mathematics. Their success helps provide recognition 
for the important role STEM plays in keeping our country safe. I thank 
them for their ambition and drive to participate in such a program. I 
wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
