         CELEBRATING THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF HUDSON VALLEY ATHLETES

  (Mr. LAWLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LAWLER. Mr. Speaker, as a point of personal privilege, I wish my 
daughter, Julianna Elena, a very happy first birthday today, April 19.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the success of some of our 
athletes in schools across New York's 17th District.
  Earlier this month was Student Athlete Day, a date on which we 
celebrate the achievements of the young men and women competing in 
interscholastic sporting events across our country.
  It has been a great winter season for our Hudson Valley athletes, and 
I would like to take a moment to congratulate some of these teams and 
individuals.
  Congratulations to Section 1 Boys Basketball champions, Tappan Zee 
High School, as well as the Boys Swimming champions, Horace Greeley 
High School.
  Congratulations also to Carly Sardo from Tappan Zee High School who 
was this season's floor champion in gymnastics, and Dami Modupe from 
North Rockland High School who won the girls 55-meter hurdles in indoor 
track and field.
  Our athletes should all be commended for their hard work during this 
season and throughout the year.
