                         Friday, August 2, 1996

  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Olympic athletes and 
coaches from California's 14th Congressional District. Two schools in 
the 14th District, both with outstanding academic reputations, have an 
unusually high number of students participating in the games this year.
  Castilleja School is a college preparatory school serving girls and 
young women in grades 6 through 12. Its students are known for their 
aptitude and achievements, and now for their athletic accomplishments. 
Although it is a small school, Castilleja has three alumni in the 
Olympics. These distinguished athletes are Amy Chow, Laura Korholtz, 
and Katy McCandless.
  Stanford University is one of the most distinguished private 
universities in our country. Stanford has demonstrated how 
multitalented its students truly are. Forty-nine Stanford students, 
alumni, and coaches are participating in the 1996 Olympic Games in 
Atlanta. These distinguished athletes and coaches are Jennifer Azzi, 
Nich Bravin, Ray Carey, Amy Chow, Domonique Dawes, Janet Evans, Scott 
Fortune, Catherine Fox, Chryste Gaines, Kurt Grote, Barbara Fontana-
Harris, Julie Foudy, A.J. Hinch, Joe Hudepohl, Lisa Jacob, Regina 
Jacobs, Skip Kenney, Kristin Klein, Mike Lambert, Jeremy Laster, Jair 
Lynch, Rick McNair, Bev Oden, Dave Popjoy, Sherry Posthumus, Richard 
Quick, Nancy Reno, Jeff Rouse, Katy Steding, Kent Steffes, Fred Sturm, 
Jenny Thompson, Zoran Tulum, Tara VanDerveer, Erica Wheeler, Wolf Wigo, 
Jessica Amey, Elin Austevoll, Gus Envela, Claudia Franco, Andrew 
Gooding, Ted Huang, Eddie Parenti, Sean Pickering, Gabrielle Rose, 
Brady Sih, Dave Strang, Andrew Vlahov, and Robert Weir.
  In addition, there are three remarkable Olympic athletes who reside 
in my district: Josh Davis, Mary Harvey, and Heather Simmons-Carrasco. 
These Olympians have distinguished themselves in swimming, soccer, and 
synchronized swimming, respectively and I am exceedingly proud that 
these athletes call the 14th Congressional District home.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting these 
remarkable athletes whose determination, prowess, and incredible 
performances inspire us all. These Olympians who have excelled in both 
academics and athletics are role models to our Nation and to the world.
