                                 ______

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 7, 2006

  Mr. BONNER. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride and pleasure that I 
rise to honor St. Paul's Episcopal School on their 2006 5A Girls' State 
Indoor Track and Field Championship.
  Head Coach Jim Tate has led St. Paul's to 32 state championships. 
Since 1983, Coach Tate's teams have claimed 74 separate state team 
championships in track and cross-country. Twenty-five of his former 
athletes have gone on to compete at the collegiate level in either 
track or cross-country. In 1999, Coach Tate was selected as the 
national cross-country coach of the year.
  The St. Paul's girls' cross-country team holds the national record 
for the longest consecutive state championship streak in the nation, 
winning the state championship for 16 consecutive years (1983-1998). 
This year's girls' team proved to be champions in their victory on 
February 4, 2006, at Celebration Arena in Priceville.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating St. 
Paul's Episcopal School on a great season and their state championship. 
This school deserves public recognition for this great honor, and I 
extend my congratulations to each member of the team and coaching
