Senator Kanavas, with unanimous consent, asked that when the Senate adjourn, it do so in honor of the Waukesha West Academic Decathlon Team on winning a seventh straight state championship on Tuesday. West's overall score of 52,111 out of a possible 60,000 points set a state record and beat its closest competitor by nearly 10,000 points. I would especially like to congratulate senior class member Alli Blonski, who had the highest score in the state competition and was an important contributor to a true “team" win. I wish them the best of luck at the national championships next month.
