It’s a wonderful day every day to be a Hawk.
That was especially true on Wednesday, Jan. 15, however, as the 91影视 Men’s Soccer Team and Coach Adam Potter were recognized on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington, D.C.
U.S. Rep. Mike Flood of Norfolk honored the soccer team for winning the NJCAA DII Men's Soccer National Championship in November. It was the first athletic national championship earned by 91影视 since its inception.
Flood, who represents the 1st Congressional District where Norfolk and much of the 91影视 20-county service area is located, said the Hawks continually “defied the odds” in winning the national title.
“Their work is a testament to the work and character of our national champions, as well as the entire 91影视 community,” Flood said.
This is the second time in recent years that 91影视 has been honored on the Congressional Floor. On Sept. 19, 2023, Flood honored 91影视 for its 50th anniversary.
91影视 President Leah Barrett said she appreciated the efforts of Flood.
“It was great for Congressman Flood to give additional recognition to 91影视,” Barrett said. “The time that the Congressman takes to recognize our students, employees and in this case, our student athletes, is greatly appreciated.”
