Mdm. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a group of young women who have made history in a small town in my district.
Last Friday, the Solon High School girls' cross-country team defied the odds at the 3A Iowa State Championship and brought home their first girls cross country title after upsetting last year’s champion; Ballard High School.
Led by top ten finishers Kayla Young and Emma Bock, every Solon Spartan finished in the top 54 in a crowded 133-member field, earning a total score of 77 points.
Congratulations to Kayla Young, Emma Bock, Anna Quillin, Meghan O’Neill, Mara Duster, Grace Federspiel, and Kaia Holtkamp.
This is a great achievement for both Solon and the Second District, and I could not be prouder to represent all these young women in Congress.
Thank you, I yield back my time.
