                      Thursday, September 30, 2004

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, it has come to my attention that Olympic 
gymnast, Terin Humphrey, of Bates City, Missouri, received two silver 
medals at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece.
  Terin was born on August 14, 1986, in St. Joseph, Missouri. After 
graduating from Odessa High School in the spring of 2004, she now plans 
to attend the University of Alabama. While at Odessa High School, Terin 
trained at the Great American Gymnastic Express gym for daily six hour 
workouts. Terin was coached by Al Fong and his wife, Armine Barutyan-
Fong. Terin trained with her Olympic teammate, Courtney McCool.
  Terin always has been a strong all around gymnast and has a strong 
record in the sport. Terin was a member of the 2003 gold medal winning 
United States World Championships Team. In 2004, at the Visa American 
Cup, Terin won bronze medals in three events: uneven bars, vault and 
floor. Terin then placed third in the all around at the 2004 United 
States Championships. In the summer of 2004, Terin made her Olympic 
debut at Athens, where she won two silver medals for the team 
competition and for the uneven bars event.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish to extend my congratulations to Terin Humphrey 
for her achievements at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
