Mr. BAUMGARTNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate the Pullman High School's science bowl team for their outstanding performance in the U.S. Department of Energy's National Science Bowl held in Washington, D.C., on April 28.

Representing eastern Washington, these exceptional students, Sahil Ganjyal, Jack Carper, Leon Liu, Kevin Chi, and Nathan Kostenko, earned their spot at nationals by winning the Inland Northwest Regional Science Bowl this spring.

At the competition, they joined 63 of their top high school teams from across the country to compete in one of the most prestigious science competitions in the Nation. This team from Pullman not only showcased their talent on the national stage, but they reminded us why it matters to invest in STEM education and to recognize young people who are willing to push themselves, think deeply, and work together in the pursuit of excellence.

They have made their fellow Pullman Greyhounds proud, including myself, which includes their families and all of eastern Washington. I offer my heartfelt congratulations and encourage them to keep reaching higher. Their future and ours is bright.
