Ms. SPANBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Woodbridge High School JROTC robotics team, which is competing in the JROTC National Championship in Dallas.

In its very first year of existence, this team has already earned an invitation to compete against teams across the country. After a season of climbing the rankings, quickly learning about the skills needed to win, and placing in statewide competitions, their hard work has paid off.

Woodbridge High's team is the only JROTC VEX robotics team in the entire Commonwealth. Today, they are not only making Woodbridge proud, they are making all Virginians proud.

These Virginia cadets overcame the odds. Their determination, their innovation, and their ability to rise above adversity make them fierce competitors, and it puts them on a pathway to success as future leaders of our communities, our Commonwealth, and our country.

These results are a testament to Virginia's JROTC students, their instructors, and their parents.

Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the Vikings and wish them the best of luck at nationals.
