  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Hannah Barnett 
of Saint Joseph, Missouri. Hannah is a student at Benton High School 
and she has been chosen to receive the YWCA Women of Excellence Future 
Leader Award.
  Hannah is recognized as one of the most sincere and compassionate 
students at Benton High School. She has been involved in Student 
Council for four years, was elected homecoming queen, and served as 
Vice President of both her class and the entire student body.
  As an athlete, Hannah has lettered in four varsity sports. She has 
played on three District Champion basketball teams, served as the 
captain of the soccer team that advanced to the State Playoffs, and 
served as captain of the volleyball team. These achievements earned her 
the honor of being named the Female Scholar Athlete for St. Joseph 
Sports, Inc.
  Academically, she is one of the best and brightest. She is an 
academic leader who has challenged herself with the most rigorous 
classes in preparation for her future. She has maintained the balance 
between her class work and extracurricular activities, while obtaining 
the rank of second in her class.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing Hannah 
Barnett. She is an outstanding member of our community and I wish her 
the best in her bright future. I am honored to represent her in the 
United States Congress.
