Mr. BELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Washington University women's track and field team who just captured the 2026 NCAA Division III Indoor National Championship. This team found a way to turn individual effort into a collective title. You don't do that without character, and you don't do that without each other.

With the WashU women's soccer team winning back-to-back national titles a few months ago and now their women's track and field team, these ladies are making St. Louis title town.

Especially during Women's History Month, St. Louis is so proud of these young women. They define student-athlete and do both at the highest level.

When we talk about what makes St. Louis a great city, this is a big part of that answer. Champions live here. Champions are developed here.

I congratulate the athletes, the coaching staff, and the entire WashU family on this remarkable achievement.
