                 PENN HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM

  (Mrs. WALORSKI asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Penn 
High School girls basketball team for winning the Class 4A Girls 
Basketball State Championship on Saturday, February 27. This impressive 
achievement is the program's first State title.
  The Kingsmen team entered the game ranked fourth in the division, but 
didn't let that deter them. They took a 31-30 lead at the beginning of 
the third quarter. The momentum continued when, after a pair of big 
runs, the team opened a 19-point lead early in the fourth quarter.
  The Kingsmen rolled past the defending champs, the Columbus North 
Bulldogs, to win the championship 68-48. They finished the night 
shooting 52 percent from the floor and, after getting out-rebounded in 
the first half, topped the Bulldogs over the final 16 minutes.
  This is truly an exciting victory, and it is because of the 
dedication of Coach Kristi Ulrich and the hard work of these student 
athletes that this honor has been earned.
  Mr. Speaker, the names of the student athletes are: Kaitlyn Marenyi, 
Amber Smith, Makenzie Kilmer, Sara Doi, Chloe Foley, Delaney Jarrett, 
Tia Chambers, Claire Carlton, Camryn Buhr, Lindsay Chrise, Lindsy 
Kline, Kamra Solomon, and Janessa Chesnic. Also, Coach Kristi Kaniewski 
Ulrich.
  On behalf of the people of Indiana's Second Congressional District, I 
applaud Kristi for building this team, thank the student athletes for 
their determination, and congratulate them all on an amazing season.
