     CONGRATULATING THE EDEN PRAIRIE BOYS SWIMMING AND DIVING TEAM

  (Mr. PAULSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I want to rise today to congratulate the 
Eden Prairie boys Eagles swimming team and diving team on winning the 
Minnesota State Championship recently. The Eden Prairie Eagles earned 
more than 100 points over their two closest competitors that tied for 
second place.
  A key relay team of Aaron Greenberg, Maverick Hovey, Mike Solfelt and 
Bryce Boston also set a new State record in the 200-yard freestyle 
relay, and they also took home first place in the 400-yard freestyle 
relay.
  Mr. Speaker, these student athletes have absolutely seen that 
teamwork builds character, confidence, and self-worth. It also teaches 
our young people the importance of working together to find common 
ground. Lessons such as playing competitively while also having respect 
for your opponent are lifelong and will make for absolutely strong, 
successful adults and future strong leaders.
  Mr. Speaker, congratulations to the Eden Prairie boys swimming and 
diving team.
