         CONGRATULATIONS WAYZATA BOYS SWIMMING AND DIVING TEAM

                         Friday, April 4, 2014

  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Wayzata High School's 
Boys Swimming and Diving Team who recently won the Minnesota Class 2A 
state title. The Trojans were able to secure the school's first 
championship with a balanced effort in the finals. Led by a first place 
performance from Greg Arnold in the 100 freestyle, Wayzata was able to 
secure the title before the last race even began.
  Coach Dave Plummer, in his first season as head coach, pointed to the 
full team effort necessary to qualify in the preliminary races. Six 
top-four finishes in the finals also helped put the Trojans over the 
top.
  The dedication it takes to excel in swimming and diving is to be 
commended. It means that these athletes push themselves every day to 
shave hundredths of a second off their personal best or repeat dive 
after dive until it's perfect. When adding in schoolwork, family 
obligations, and other time commitments, it is remarkable these 
student-athletes accomplish all that they do.
  Once again, congratulations to the Wayzata High School Boys Swimming 
and Diving Team on a job well done.
