  CONGRATULATING CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS HIGH SCHOOL ON WINNING FLORIDA 
                  STATE CLASS 6A BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate 
Christopher Columbus High School in my congressional district for 
winning the Florida State Class 6A Baseball Championship. Columbus 
enjoyed an 8-2 win, thanks to a seven-run rally in the bottom of the 
sixth. This marks the first State baseball title for Columbus, that has 
long had one of the most outstanding baseball programs in Miami-Dade 
County and, indeed, in our State.
  Christopher Columbus is a private Roman Catholic college prep school 
conducted by the Marist Brothers. In addition to its strong athletic 
program, Columbus has an exceptional academic program, as well. It uses 
a holistic approach to education where the entire person is encouraged 
to grow in truth and freedom.
  Please join me in congratulating Christopher Columbus and its coach, 
Joe Weber, for their phenomenal win.
