    HONORING THE 1999 DUNBAR HIGH SCHOOL BOYS 4X100-METER RELAY TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MARTIN FROST

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 22, 1999

  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 1999 Dunbar 
High School Boys 4x100-meter relay team for bringing the gold home to 
Fort Worth. With a championship time of 40.30 seconds at the University 
Interscholastic League in Austin, the Flying Wildcats electrified the 
crowd with blazing speed and power.
  But the path to glory didn't end in Austin for the Wildcats. Instead 
of hanging up their spikes for the summer they took their show on the 
road to the Foot Locker National Championship at North Carolina State 
University in Raleigh. The Wildcats were eager to show the nation what 
everyone in North Texas already knew: the Wildcats from Stop Six, Ft. 
Worth couldn't be stopped in Austin and weren't about to be slowed down 
in Raleigh.
  At the National Championship last week, the Wildcats took their 
stellar performance to North Carolina State University and won the 
4x100 and 4x200-meter relays. The winning effort showed the whole 
country what Texas and Ft. Worth already knew: Fort Worth is ``Speed 
City.''
  Once again congratulations to Coach Tom Allen and the Dunbar Boy 
sprinters: Jerome Braziel, Jerrod Braziel, James Hall, and James Shaw.
