We are all proud of their successes and competitive performances, but also all the hours of unseen hard work, training, nutrition efforts and dedication that go into these achievements, and set a good example for young aspiring athletes. Welcome home!” said Congresswoman Amata. “Thank you to our people who came out to the airport to show love and appreciation to our athletes, I could see how they enjoyed and appreciated that warm support.”
