                        Tuesday, March 12, 2013

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Glendale 
Girls Swim Team for winning the Missouri State High School Swimming 
Championship.
  The team included sisters Nikki and Kaylee Sisson, Madeline Nelson, 
Lauren Beatty, Emma Chadwell, Tori Harmon, Hannah Leif, and Macie 
Beairsto. It was through their hard work and dedication that they took 
overall first place with a score of 190, beating the runner-up by 
nearly 40 points.
  I would also like to commend Nikki Sisson on winning the 50-yard 
freestyle, as well as the 200 and 400-yard freestyle relay teams for 
also taking first place.
  Head Coach Steve Boyce and Assistant Coach Robert Muench should also 
be proud of their accomplishments in guiding this group of talented 
athletes. I commend them all on a job well done. The Springfield 
community is justifiably proud of the extraordinary accomplishments of 
these young ladies. This is the first swim team from Southwest Missouri 
to win the championship.
  I urge my colleagues to join me in congratulating the Glendale High 
School State Champion Girls Swim Team.
