“Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Florida Gators' women's gymnastics team, this year's regular season SEC champion. Florida's Super Seniors, including Leah Clapper, Savannah Schoenherr, Halley Taylor, and Trinity Thomas now have a handful of rings, claiming their fifth consecutive SEC title on Friday with a win over number 12 Kentucky. This is UF's 15th SEC gymnastic title and 5th consecutive title. The gymnastics team joins volleyball and men's and women's swimming and diving as regular season champions during this academic year. During the SEC championship meet, Florida led on vault with season bests by Leanne Wong and Sloane Blakely. Kayla DiCello led the Gators on the balance beam, while DiCello, Trinity Thomas, and Wong boosted the Gators' overall score on the uneven bars--a whole heck of a lot more than most of us in this Chamber can do. It is with tremendous pride that we say congratulations to the Gators Gymnastics team, Coach Rowland, and the Super Seniors on a great regular season. We look forward to cheering them on at the collegiate NCAA championship that is soon to come. Go Gators. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Babin), my good friend and colleague.”
