 CONGRATULATING THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON MEN'S INDOOR TRACK 
                             AND FIELD TEAM

 Mr. FEINGOLD. Mr. President, I congratulate the University of 
Wisconsin men's track and field team for winning the 43rd annual 
National Collegiate Athletic Association, NCAA, Indoor Track and Field 
Championship. As a proud alumnus, I enjoy the many opportunities to 
tout the success of the Badgers to my colleagues.
  With their win on March 10, 2007, the Wisconsin men's track team 
became the first-ever Big Ten Conference school to win the NCAA 
Division I Indoor Track and Field Championship. Earlier in the season, 
the Badgers earned their seventh consecutive Big 10 championship by 
defeating the University of Minnesota by 27 points on February 24, 
2007.
  I sincerely congratulate Coach Ed Nuttycombe and Assistant Coaches 
Jerry Schumacher and Mark Guthrie for their dedication and hard work 
throughout the season. Congratulations to senior Chris Solinsky, who 
rewrote the record book in Wisconsin as a high school runner, on 
winning his fourth individual NCAA title, placing first in the 5,000-
meter race.
  The athletic prowess of the University of Wisconsin is a source of 
pride throughout my State and for alumni everywhere. I applaud the 
men's track and field team for its impressive accomplishment and wish 
it best of luck for a successful future.
