                      RECOGNITION OF STEVEN MILLER

 Mr. BOND. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize Steven 
Miller whose dedication to Missouri athletics has earned him a place in 
the Missouri State Track and Cross Country Coaches Hall of Fame. For 
more than 20 years Coach Miller has strived to make his Francis Howell 
High School team in St. Charles, Missouri one of the best.
  Under Coach Miller's guidance, The Francis Howell track team has won 
22 out of 39 Conference titles and the Cross Country team has won 10 
out of 18. Even more impressive are the individual accomplishments by 
his former athletes. Coach Miller has coached one pole vaulter who 
proceeded to the 1996 Summer Olympics, a woman distance runner who 
became a two-time NCAA Division I All-American, more than 50 athletes 
who have become coaches, 14 state champions and a girl's cross country 
team who won the state championship in 1987.
  High school athletics is an area that I believe helps to teach very 
important values to young people and it is always encouraging to learn 
of a coach with the drive and commitment to excellence shown by coach 
Miller. Coaches, athletes and parents at Francis Howell High School are 
fortunate to have such an inspirational role model and educator.
  I congratulate Coach Miller for his hard work and success. 
Additionally, I commend his undying energy throughout his many years of 
coaching and wish him continued success at Francis Howell High 
School.
