                              TEAM KRAMER

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ED PERLMUTTER

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 22, 2013

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
the Colorado State Junior Curling Champion team of Preston Kramer, 
Nathan Parry, Spencer Culbertson and Alec Celecki, who were coached by 
Matt Culbertson and Pam Finch.
   These four young men competed as Team Kramer in the 2013 USA Junior 
National Curling Championships January 26-February 2, 2013, at 
Broomstones Curling Club in Wayland, Massachusetts. These young men won 
the Colorado State Championships and Regional Championships held in 
Oregon.
   At the National Championships, Team Kramer competed against 9 other 
teams. Although the team did not win the tournament and a berth in the 
World Championships in Sochi, Russia, they were awarded the Curtis Cup, 
given to the team who exhibited sportsmanship, and the true spirit of 
the game of curling.
   I commend these young men for their success on the curling sheet, 
and for their example of true sportsmanship. I have no doubt they will 
exhibit the same dedication and character in all their future 
endeavors.
