                      Wednesday, February 24, 2016

  Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor a very special group of young 
people. The Nicholas County High School Cheerleaders, coached by 
Jessica Letcher Hamilton, recently won the Universal Cheerleaders 
Association's National High School Cheerleading Competition.
  This event is very competitive and involves young women from across 
the nation. Like any successful endeavor, the victory was won by 
dedication, hours of practice, determination, and teamwork. The young 
women worked very hard for this accomplishment and they learned lessons 
that will benefit them as they become adults.
  Nicholas County High School is a small but proud high school in 
Carlisle, Kentucky. The community was very supportive of this group of 
young women. The girls represented themselves and their county very 
well at the national competition in Orlando, Florida. I congratulate 
the students and their coaches on the national championship and I am 
proud to honor them before the United States House of Representatives.
