            MARYLAND ATHLETES VICTORIOUS AT OLYMPIC FESTIVAL

 Ms. MIKULSKI. Mr. President, I want to share with my 
colleagues my pride in the accomplishments of Maryland's athletes in 
the recent Olympic Festival.
  As my colleagues know, the Olympic Festival is one of the premiere 
events for Olympic-caliber athletes. Many of the more than 3,500 
American athletes who participated in the festival will go on to 
compete in next year's summer Olympics in Atlanta and in the winter 
games in Nagano, Japan. They truly are America's finest.
  I am proud to note that two dozen Maryland athletes were awarded gold 
medals. I salute them for their dedication to their sport and to the 
pursuit of excellence. I look forward to hearing of their future 
achievements.
  The names of Maryland's gold medal winners follow:
