                          TO HONOR KATY DOYLE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. NICK LAMPSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 24, 2004

  Mr. LAMPSON. Mr. Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to 
recognize the exceptional athletic achievements of an outstanding 
individual, personal friend, and fellow Texan.
  Katy Doyle, a member of the Texas A&M track and field team, led her 
team with an incredible athletic performance in the 2004 Big 12 Outdoor 
track and field conference championships. In the javelin competition, 
Doyle's throw of 54.75m put her team in first place in the event, and 
shattered a conference record that had stood for five years.
  Doyle's gold medal performance at the conference championship added 
to her two previous wins in the same event in 2000 and 2003 conference 
meets.
  Mr. Speaker, being a personal friend of both Katy and her family, I 
can say her on-field performance is a testament to her character off 
the field. Coming off a seemingly debilitating injury that kept her out 
of competition in 2001 and 2002, she persevered and ultimately regained 
her championship form.
  I am honored to give credit to this talented athlete, deserving 
individual, and great Texan.
