minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. LOVE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the outstanding 
achievement of the Salt Lake Community College men's basketball team, 
this year's National Junior College Men's Basketball champions.
  These 12 extraordinary student athletes, with the unwavering support 
of their four dedicated coaches, dominated the 2016 NJCAA Men's 
Basketball tournament, beating their opponents by an average of 18.8 
points over five games in 6 days.
  Conner Toolson was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player. Head 
coach Todd Phillips was named Coach of the Tournament.
  These young men, who hail not only from Utah, but from as far away as 
Australia, exhibited more than just exceptional athleticism and skill. 
They were singled out for their good sportsmanship and kindness off 
court. Tad Dufelmeier was honored with the tournament's Sportsmanship 
Award.
  I congratulate the team on their championship win and for 
representing their school, their community, and the State in such an 
exceptional way.
  Go Bruins.
