CONGRATULATING THE Y QUAD CITIES ROW TEAM FOR WINNING THEIR 7TH
STRAIGHT TITLE AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL
______
HON. CHERI BUSTOS
of illinois
in the house of representatives
Friday, August 13, 2021
Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Y Quad Cities Row team for winning their 7th straight title at the national level.
The Y Quad Cities Row team consisting of Ava Satterfield, Olivia Meskan, Ella Saunders and Elizabeth Tessen finished first in the girl's quadruple sculls, winning their 7th consecutive national title. Their historic reign began in 2014 but suddenly came to a halt as the pandemic hit Illinois. The Y Quad Cities Row team is the first team ever in the history of the event to place 1st and 2nd. As a former athlete, I understand the amount of hard work and commitment it takes to pull off such an amazing feat. I am proud there is such young talent in our district, and happy to see them represent the Quad Cities so well throughout the state and country.
It is because of student leaders such as Ava, Olivia, Ella, and Elizabeth that I am especially proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District. Madam Speaker, I would like to again formally recognize them for winning their 7th consecutive national title in rowing.
