                        Thursday, March 30, 2017

  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Minnetonka 
Boys High School Swimming Team on winning the Minnesota Swim and Dive 
High School State Championship.
  After finishing second in the state the past two years, the Skippers 
were determined to claim the top spot this year. Led by senior Sam 
Schilling, Minnetonka dominated the competition by winning many of the 
events and breaking multiple state records along the way too. They even 
set the National Public High School 200-yard medley relay record, 
coming in at 1:29:20, a few tenths faster than the previous record set 
in Indiana earlier this season.
  The championship victory earned by the boys on the Minnetonka High 
School swim team is a testament to their unwavering commitment to hard 
work and excellence.
  Mr. Speaker, Your families, friends, and our entire community are 
very proud of each and every one of these outstanding student athletes. 
Congratulations.
