                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 12, 2006

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the superior 
performance of the '91 Texas Elite Fast Pitch softball club on their 
5th place finish in the National Championship on August 6th, 2006.
  The team placed 5th after competing against 114 fast pitch softball 
teams from around the Nation. During the course of the tournament the 
ladies had a record of 9 and 2 and finished the tournament as the 
highest ranked Texas team.
  Their success was the combined effort of many extremely talented 
athletes, and would not have been possible if it was not for the 
incredible sense of teamwork put forth by all athletes.
  I extend my sincere congratulations to coaches Slade Maloney and 
Stephanie Tamayo, as well as Ms. Taylor Petrick, Ms. Rayne House, Ms. 
Natalie Nimmo, Ms. Sara Draheim, Ms. Valerie Howell, Ms. Taylor 
Hoagland, Ms. Lindsay Zaobjnik, Ms. Danika Miller, Ms. Taylor Sells, 
Ms. Kim Spivey, and Ms. Magean De La Torre, the members of the '91 
Texas Elite softball club.
