                        Thursday, July 22, 2004

  Mr. TANCREDO. Mr. Speaker, all too often as I watch the evening news 
or open the paper, I am bombarded with stories of teens going down the 
wrong path. Today, I have the pleasure of celebrating a teen from my 
district, Caroline Cryer, who is excelling as an athlete and a student.
  Caroline, who is the captain of the Cherry Creek lacrosse team, has 
been named All-American for the second-straight year. This past spring 
the senior was second in the state in assists (43) and points (101) 
after winning her third state championship in lacrosse. In addition, 
she was named both the Rocky Mountain News and Denver Post player-of-
the-year and the Denver Post/Denver Athletic Club High School Student-
Athlete of the Year.
  Lacrosse is not the only sport Caroline has shown a talent for; she 
has excelled in both varsity field hockey and varsity basketball. She 
won a state championship in 2002 for varsity field hockey.
  While participating in these extracurricular activities, Caroline has 
maintained a 3.76 GPA and graduated with the highest honor roll honors. 
She has decided to attend Duke University this fall, where she is sure 
to succeed after taking four college AP tests.
  Mr. Speaker, with students like Caroline Cryer in our communities, 
the next generation promises to do great things. It is my distinct 
pleasure to honor Caroline here today, and wish her all the best in her 
future endeavors.
