                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 12, 1999

  Mr. BROWN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise to highlight the recent 
athletic achievements of Megan Montoni, who hails from Wadsworth, Ohio 
in my Congressional District. As a sophomore at Ashland University this 
past school year, Megan recently earned All-American honors for her 
performance in the shot put at the NCAA Division II National 
Championships in Emporia, Kansas. She also participated in the shot put 
and the discuss at the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, 
receiving silver and bronze medals, respectively.
  Being recognized as an All-America athlete is a prestigious 
accomplishment in college athletics and in all of sports. Dedication 
and a solid work ethic have launched Megan to the top of her game. 
Remarkably, she underwent knee surgery one year before the NCAA 
championships. Her discipline, resilience, and passion to succeed were 
clearly illustrated at the NCAA championships. Megan's work ethic and 
determination are an inspiration to us all.
  On behalf of the people of Ohio's 13th Congressional District, I am 
honored to congratulate Megan for earning All-America honors.
