Shooting Team from my fifth congressional district of Florida. Dwayne 
Wilcox, Geneva Hollriegel, Kara Alexander, and Cassie Skelton made up 
Levy County's delegation to the National 4-H Shooting Sports 
Competition, held this summer in Raton, New Mexico.
  I am pleased to congratulate this group of youngsters for their 
stellar performance at the competition before this body, Mr. Speaker. 
They've represented their state, their county and the 4-H organization 
well and I'd like to share their results with my colleagues and I ask 
that they join me in honoring the Levy County 4-H Shooting Sports Team 
today.
  In the Archery, Recurve 3D Event, Rachel Babb placed 7th, Tiffany 
Boykin placed 8th, the group placed 2nd as a team in this event and 
placed 5th overall.
  Kara Alexander placed 7th overall, and in the Hunting Competition she 
placed 9th in the decision-making and skills events and 3rd in safety.
  Also in Hunter Safety Event, Geneva Hollriegel placed 7th and Cassie

  Mr. Speaker these accomplishments are truly noteworthy. We in this 
chamber all know the important role that 4-H plays, and has played, in 
the lives of so many youths in this country. I am pleased that the 
organization is alive and well in my district and that these young 
people have chosen to become involved in it and have prospered as well 
as they have.
