               CONGRATULATING SEVERN SCHOOL SAILING TEAM

  (Ms. ELFRETH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ELFRETH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the Severn School 
sailing team.
  This spring, these students made history by becoming the first team 
ever to win both the Baker and the Mallory National Championships in 
the same season, but these victories did not come easily.
  In the Mallory competition, the Admirals made a critical comeback 
from third to first place, despite dicey wind conditions, to win their 
second title.
  Four graduating seniors, Alex Baker, Charlotte MacDonald, Annie 
Sitzmann, and Annabelle Ulak, even missed their commencement ceremony 
to compete in the national championships.
  These students' commitment to excellence, both in the classroom and 
on the water, is truly inspiring, and their accomplishments speak to 
the incredible coaches and mentors they have had along the way.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Coach Sitzmann, Coach Alexander, Coach 
Davids, and the entire Severn sailing team on an incredible season and 
this historic accomplishment.
