Today it is with overwhelming pride that I rise to congratulate the 2021 NCAA Men's Volleyball National Champions of the University of Hawaii. In Columbus, Ohio this past Saturday, the Rainbow Warriors dominated Brigham Young University in a three-set sweep showcasing to the Nation the qualities of a team hungry for a national championship only made possible through years of hard work, perseverance, grit, mental fortitude, and sportsmanship. As a former Rainbow Warriors men's volleyball player and proud alumnus, I know how much this victory means to the program and all of Hawaii. So congratulations to the head coach, Charlie Wade, the coaching staff, UH athletics programs, the players, and, Mr. Speaker, most importantly, the best collegiate volleyball fans, supporters, boosters, and Aunty's on the planet. Hawaii is so proud of them. No Ka `Oi, and go Bows. ____________________
