                        Wednesday, July 11, 2012

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Victoria Foley of 
the Joplin McAuley Catholic Track and Field Team for winning the Discus 
State Title at the Missouri Class 1 State Track and Field Championship.
  Victoria worked hard throughout the season to achieve her state 
title. She continuously strove to better her performance, inspiring her 
teammates as well as earning the respect of her competitors.
  Victoria is a solid definition of what it takes to be a great student 
athlete by virtue of her phenomenal talent and great sportsmanship. 
Through her hard work and dedication she won the Missouri Class 1 State 
Discus Championship with a throw of 121 feet 3 inches. In the end, she 
added herself among only 2 others who can share the State Champion 
title in the McAuley Catholic High School history.
  I urge my colleagues to join me in congratulating Victoria Foley, the 
Missouri Class 1 State Discus Champion.
