WILLIAM O. LIPINSKI\n\n                              of illinois\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                        Monday, October 21, 1996\n\n  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an\noutstanding group of volleyball players in my district. This special\ngroup of players are students at Our Lady of the Ridge High School in\nChicago Ridge, IL. What makes this group stand out and shine is that\nwhen other schools were out for the summer, this group of players\nextended their season into late June and captured their program's first\nnational title. This is truly a momentous triumph and I am very proud\nto represent such a fine group of young women in Congress.\n  This year's Amateur Athletic Union Junior National Volleyball\nChampionships were held in Des Moines, IA, on June 21-25. This year, a\ndivision was started which included volleyball players ages 10 years\nand younger. The division was created to allow younger players to\ncompete in the national competition. This year 10 young ladies from\nlast season's fourth grade team received maximum benefit from the\nexposure.\n  The team was led by tournament MVP Jessica Strama and All-Americans\nKellie and Katie Pratl. Additionally, Elizabeth Rutan, Cori Omiecinski,\nMegan Liston, Laura Dirschl, and Katherine Casey played an important\nrole in their aggressive floor play during the game. Stefanie Krawisz\nand Lauren Uher were top in their field for their outstanding serving\nability during the game. The Our Lady of the Ridge team was coached by\nMilena Strama and Ron Pratl. The team ended its season with an\nimpressive 77-23 record. Finally, the team could not have come as far\nas they did if it were not for their many sponsors and supporters from\nthe parish community of Our Lady of the Ridge. As the team coach Ron\nPratl said, ``There was a team of supporters that made it possible for\nus to get here, and then there was the team that won the gold. My hat\ngoes off to all of them.''\n  Mr. Speaker, I am very proud to have such a fine group of players and\nsupporters in my district. This group of hard working young volleyball\nplayers are truly an inspiration and I am pleased to be given the\nopportunity to honor their hard work today.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-1996-10-21-pt1-PgE1934-2"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9311530739068985, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
