       CONGRATULATING MINNETONKA TRACK AND FIELD STATE CHAMPIONS

                                  _____
                                 

                           HON. ERIK PAULSEN

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 27, 2013

  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the members 
of the Minnetonka Girls Track and Field Team, which recently won the 
Girls Minnesota State High School League Track and Field championship.
  Minnetonka didn't hold the top rank going into the championship meet, 
but they quickly showed that they deserved it as they secured first-
place finishes in both the 4 x 800 relay and the long jump on the first 
day of competition. Rising senior Elizabeth Endy also broke a school 
record with her second-place finish in the 400-meter race. Some of the 
team's stars may be graduating, but others--like freshman Lucy 
Hoelscher, who was a part of two championship relays--are only 
beginning their high school careers.
  I look forward to tracking their progress in the upcoming years. 
Their success this season is a tribute to their high level of 
commitment, one that I am sure they will continue to display in all 
aspects of their lives.
  I am proud to honor these hard-working student athletes. Go Skippers!
