  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to congratulate the 
Minnetonka High School Boys Alpine Skiing Team on recently winning the 
Minnesota High School State Championship.
  Led by seniors Sergi Piguillem and Marshall Quist, who finished with 
combined times of 1:17:98 and 1:21:39, respectively, the Skippers were 
able to defeat rival Edina 166-151.
  This is Minnetonka High School's fifth alpine skiing title in their 
program's history, which illustrates these athletes' dedication to the 
pursuit of excellence on the slopes and in the classroom. Their state 
championship title is a testament to their passion and love for the 
sport, and commitment in putting their best effort forward in all that 
they do.
  Congratulations to head coach Dave Gartner, the parents, and every 
member of the Minnetonka Alpine Skiing Team on your impressive victory. 
Our community is proud of you for being tremendous student athletes. Go 
Skippers.
