              CONGRATULATING THE YOUNG GUNS AT QUAIL CREEK

  (Mr. THOMAS J. ROONEY of Florida asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. THOMAS J. ROONEY of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate the Young Guns at Quail Creek for winning the 2017 
Scholastic Clay Target Program National Championship. Based out of my 
hometown, Okeechobee, Florida, the Young Guns have won the SCTP State 
championship for the past 3 years.
  The Young Guns had the highest combined team score of all 38 teams 
competing. Specifically, one participant, Nicholas Blenker, had the 
highest overall score in the competition for trap, skeet, and sporting 
clays. Over the course of the 2-day competition, Nicholas shot 575 out 
of 600, only missing 25 shots.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the whole team on their success and for 
making Okeechobee proud.
