                   GEORGE WASHINGTON BOY'S SWIM TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. SHELLEY MOORE CAPITO

                            of west virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 13, 2011

  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the George 
Washington Patriots Swim Team for winning the 2011 state championship. 
The past three years have amounted to a great deal of success for the 
Patriot swimmers, winning the 2009 state championship and coming in as 
runner-up last year. For a few seniors, this marks the end of a great 
high school career and I want to congratulate them as well as the rest 
of the team for their time and hard work.
  It takes a strong group of young men to maintain the drive and 
dedication they have shown season after season. I want to thank their 
coach, Melissa Case, for instilling such a focus in her team. It 
certainly has not gone unnoticed.
  These individuals should be very proud of their accomplishment and 
represent the highest level of George Washington High School student 
athletes. I wish them the best and know they will display the same 
level of character in their future pursuits as they did in the pool.
