                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, August 3, 1994

  Mr. PACKARD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a truly 
outstanding athlete, Ms. Tara Ardalan of Valley Center CA. Ms. Ardalan 
recently competed at the U.S. Olympic Festival in Defiance, MO. She and 
her horse, Witch Broome Wizard, were members of the gold medal winning 
west coast equestrian team.
  Ms. Ardalan has competed in numerous competitions nationally. Her 
riding career is distinguished, with such accolades as an individual 
gold medal in show jumping at the U.S. Olympic Festival in San Antonio, 
TX, and an individual gold medal at the North America Young Riders 
Championships. She has also received first place in the Oaks Fall 
Classic in San Juan Capistrano, CA, and the Acorn Jumping Classic. She 
was champion in the junior jumper division in the Memorial Day Classic 
in California. She has performed exceptional well in many other 
competitions as well.
  Ms. Ardalan recently graduated from high school and plans to attend 
college. She is trained by her father, Mr. Arsia Ardalan. At her young 
age, she has accomplished much and I wish her the best in her future 
endeavors.
  Mr. Speaker, I hope you and my colleagues will join me in recognizing 
the achievements of Tara Ardalan. I am pleased to enter these words of 
tribute and congratulations into the Record.
