On the recordDecember 12, 2025
I rise to recognize the Washington University women's soccer team, who just secured their second-straight Division III national championship. These student-athletes reflect the best of St. Louis. What they achieved this season didn't happen by accident. It came from years of work, a culture of accountability, and a shared belief that success in the classroom and success in competition strengthen each other. St. Louis is proud of them, and WashU is proud of them. Their run reminds us that our city grows stronger when we invest in our young people. I congratulate the players, coaching staff, and entire community. I will admit, a lot of us are already looking forward to the three-peat next year.
