  Mr. LoBIONDO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Holy 
Spirit High School girls varsity-eight crew team on their second 
straight Peabody Cup Championship at the distinguished and well known 
Henley Women's Regatta in Henley-on-Thames, England on Sunday, June 20, 
2004. The girls' varsity-eight crew team defeated St. Andrews School by 
taking a strong lead from the start of the race and pushed on to 
victory by winning the 1,500 meter race by 1\1/4\ boat lengths in 5 
minutes and 11 seconds.
  The team is led by Holy Spirit High School coach John Slattery, and 
was made up of bow Robyn Brennan, Erin Coyle, Kairie Roehill, Kaitlin 
Grant, Andria Haneman, Kristen Haneman, Jen Maslanka, stroke Teri 
Francesco, and coxswain Lynn Cassidy.
  On behalf of the residents of the Second District of New Jersey, I 
offer my congratulations to the Holy Spirit High School girls' varsity-
eight crew team on their outstanding second straight victory at the 
Peabody Cup Championships. These young women showed poise under 
pressure and share our pride in their outstanding achievement.
