                         JORDAN LESTINA TRIBUTE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. SCOTT R. TIPTON

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, June 3, 2011

  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jordan Lestina of 
Julesburg, Colorado. Mr. Lestina was recently awarded the prestigious 
Boettcher Scholarship for his efforts both in and out of the classroom.
  Mr. Lestina already has substantial leadership experience as the 
national FFA Organization president, the Future Business Leaders of 
America president and student body president at Dove Creek High School. 
They are positions that require an enormous amount of attention, but 
ones he is able to balance with his duties as captain of the school 
wrestling team. In the classroom, he helps instruct FFA and agriculture 
classes, competed in the International Science Fair, and still manages 
to allot time for his responsibilities as a ranch hand.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Jordan Lestina today. The 
excellence he has shown in academia, athletics and through community 
service is admirable. There is no doubt that he will continue his 
success at the collegiate level, with the help of the Boettcher 
Foundation.
