         RECOGNIZING WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY WOMEN'S SOCCER TEAM

  (Mr. BELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Washington University 
women's soccer team, who just secured their second-straight Division 
III national championship. These student-athletes reflect the best of 
St. Louis.
  What they achieved this season didn't happen by accident. It came 
from years of work, a culture of accountability, and a shared belief 
that success in the classroom and success in competition strengthen 
each other.
  St. Louis is proud of them, and WashU is proud of them. Their run 
reminds us that our city grows stronger when we invest in our young 
people.
  I congratulate the players, coaching staff, and entire community. I 
will admit, a lot of us are already looking forward to the three-peat 
next year.
