         A TRIBUTE TO LIZ McINTYRE, OLYMPIAN FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE

 Mr. SMITH. Mr. President, today I would like to pay tribute to 
an Olympian from Hanover, NH who participated in the 1994 winter 
Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway.
  Liz McIntyre was a member of the U.S. women's freestyle ski team 
where she earned a silver medal in women's moguls for her outstanding 
performance in a field of tough competitors. The Granite State is proud 
of her achievement at this historic sporting event.
  Liz was new to freestyle skiing. Skiing as a youngster at the 
Dartmouth Skiway, Liz learned to ski in the Ford Sayre Program near her 
hometown of Lyme, NH. She then turned to freestyle and her efforts 
gained national attention. As a student at Dartmouth College in 
Hanover, Liz began balancing Ivy League studies with soccer and ski 
training.
  In 1991, Liz finished second again in the U.S. Championships and was 
back on the World Cup swirl. She opened the 1992 season with back-to-
back top-fives, earned an Olympic berth, and was sixth in the 
Albertville Olympics. Liz stepped up to become the team's leader and 
turned in the finest international results of her career last season. 
She collected her second World Cup victory in Tignes, was second at 
Lake Placid, and was third in the next two events.
  Liz's coach Wayne Hilterbrand described her as a quiet leader. She 
cut back on mountain bike racing this past summer to concentrate on 
improving her skiing. She enjoys soccer, reading, cooking, and telemark 
skiing. New Hampshire will continue to support Liz as she continues her 
skiing career.
