  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Republic High 
School's Garrett Metscher for winning the high jump at the 2013 Class 4 
State Track and Field Championships.
  Through his hard work and dedication, Garrett placed first in the 
high jump with a new school record of 6'7\1/2\''. Throughout the 
season, he dominated the field and his effort resulted in the event's 
top seed heading into the state championship. In the state championship 
event, Garrett did not disappoint, besting the 15-man field and taking 
the title.
  I urge my colleagues to join me in congratulating Garrett Metscher, 
winner of the high jump at the Missouri Class 4 State Track and Field 
Championships.
