On the recordMarch 11, 1994
last year I was extremely honored to announce on the House floor that the University of Texas at Arlington wheelchair basketball champions captured their third consecutive national championship. They were the first wheelchair basketball team to visit the White House. Well, they've done it again, and, in their own hometown. On March 9, the Movin' Mavs captured their fourth consecutive national championship at the NCAA final four wheelchair basketball tournament held at the University of Texas at Arlington. I am very proud of this extraordinary team. The individual battle that each team member waged to overcome disability and become a champion is truly inspiring. My congratulations go to the 1994 UTA Movin' Mavs wheelchair basketball team: James Anthony Hayes, coach; Lee Castillo, assistant coach; Henry Torres, assistant coach; Juan Pulido, manager; Raquel Delgado, trainer; Richard Ellis, statistician; Bobby Holcomb, Don Bradley Michael, Chhalyl Mak, Phung Tran, Dennis Harrison, Jason C. Van Beek, Ciprian Falcon, Rusty Belknap, Javier Gonzalez, Jr., Cezar Olivas, and Hans Ostergaard.
