       ST. URSULA BULLDOGS WIN OHIO STATE VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

  

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, this morning I would like to recognize the 
achievement of an exceptional group of young women in my Cincinnati 
congressional district, the St. Ursula Bulldogs volleyball team.
  St. Ursula battled Ursuline Academy, another outstanding Cincinnati 
school, for Ohio's State volleyball championship. St. Ursula emerged 
victorious, capping off an undefeated season. With 29 wins and zero 
losses. St. Ursula was also declared national champion.
  The victory marked St. Ursula's eighth State volleyball title, making 
it the only Ohio school to accomplish this feat in history.
  Mr. Speaker, these are two excellent schools academically as well as 
in sports. They have faced each other three straight years for the 
State title. They are shining examples of what can be accomplished with 
hard work, perseverance, and teamwork.
  It gives me great pleasure, especially since my niece, Maria, is a 
student at St. Ursula, to acknowledge in the United States Congress the 
success and achievement of these exceptional young women and their 
coaches, St. Ursula's Julie Perry and Ursuline's Amie Meyer.
  Congratulations.
