                    OUTSTANDING ATHLETE OF THE YEAR

                                 ______


                            HON. HERB KLEIN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 23, 1994

  Mr. KLEIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to join the John F. Kennedy High 
School students and faculty in honoring Nicole Carmichael as the 
recipient of the Outstanding Athlete of the Year Award.
  Nicole Carmichael has just completed her junior year at Kennedy High 
School. She has demonstrated remarkable athletic achievement in the 
sport of track and field.
  This winter during indoor track season, Nicole won several meets. She 
is the county and State champ in the 55 meters race and placed sixth in 
the 55 meters State Meet of Champions.
  Nicole is not only a great indoor track athlete, but also an 
exemplary spring track athlete. She is undefeated in the dual meet 
competition and has been awarded the Girls Track Most Valuable 
Participant for the 190 half points she scored for her team this past 
season. Furthermore, Nicole placed first in the 100 and 200 meters 
NNJIL Meet and, in doing so, she broke the meet record set in 1986. She 
also won first place in the County Meet of Champions for the 100 and 
200 meters race and helped her team take another first place by being 
the anchor leg in the mile relay.
  In addition to those numerous awards, Nicole is the first girl from 
her high school to win first place in the State Track Meet of Champions 
in not one, but two events. She also possesses the school, county and 
league record and tied the sectional meet record for the 100 and 200 
meter races. Moreover, Nicole is the first place 100 and 200 meter 
winner in the Girls Eastern States Track Championship.
  It is with great pleasure that I ask my colleagues to join me in 
honoring this prestigious athlete on her extraordinary achievements.
