Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I use today to recognize and congratulate the Russellville High School Quiz Bowl Team for their outstanding achievement in winning their first national title at the National Academic Championship tournament. On Sunday afternoon, these bright young students brought home a victory that will be remembered as a milestone in the history of Russellville High School.

The Cyclones demonstrated their exceptional intellect and teamwork by going undefeated, 6-0, in their regional tournament held in May in New Orleans, Louisiana. Their journey to the national title was marked by impressive victories over formidable opponents, including teams from Corpus Christi, Texas; Little Rock Central; an international team from Dubai, India; and Parkland High School in Pennsylvania.

The members of this championship team, Will Stump, Keegan Fuller, Ian Warnick, Matthew Fox, Gidian Fuller, and Alyx Dunaway, have showcased remarkable dedication and academic excellence. Their success is a testament to their hard work and commitment. I would also like to commend their head coach, Mr. Steven Quoss, and assistant coaches, Ms. Rebecca Quoss and Mr. Andrew Taylor, whose leadership and guidance were instrumental in this achievement.

This victory not only brings great pride to Russellville High School and will also inspire students throughout our community and state. The achievements of the Russellville High School Quiz Bowl Team highlight the importance of academic competitions in fostering a spirit of inquiry and distinction among our youth.

I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the Russellville High School Quiz Bowl Team on their national championship. We celebrate their success and look forward to their future accomplishments.
