                     WAYZATA GIRLS NORDIC SKI 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 rise to congratulate the Wayzata High 
School girls Nordic ski team.
  For the first time in 33 years, the Wayzata girls Nordic skiing 
program claimed the very top prize at the State competition earlier 
this month in northern Minnesota.
  Wayzata head coach Larry Myers lauded his team's attitude and morale 
as key to their success this season and at the State competition, but 
special congratulations also should go out to junior Alayna Sonnesyn 
and sophomore Anna French, who earned all-State honors at the meet.
  Six students from Wayzata's State championship Nordic ski team also 
were members of the State championship cross-country running squad that 
captured a State championship title last fall. Each of these student 
athletes, their parents, and their coaches deserve praise for their 
dedication and determination.
  It's an honor to be able to represent and recognize such great 
student athletes and the Wayzata School District. Congratulations.
