            CONGRATULATING WAYZATA GIRLS SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIP

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Minnesota (Mr. Paulsen) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate the Wayzata High 
School girls soccer team on winning this year's Class 2A State 
championship. This is a team that embodies the philosophy of practice 
makes perfect. Every day throughout the season, this team would 
practice penalty kicks just in case a big game would depend on it.
  And when it came down to the championship game, when regulation time 
ran out, when overtime passed, 10 minutes extra of overtime, the State 
title would be decided by a penalty kick shootout. In the end, it was 
Wayzata's practice of the fundamentals that really did pay off when 
Chelsey Ulrich scored the game-winning goal in that shootout.
  So congratulations to the student athletes of Wayzata High School and 
the girls soccer team, as well as the coaches, for being great student 
athletes and for a job well done.
