                            HON. PETE OLSON

                      Thursday, December 12, 2013

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Katarina Morton of 
Pearland High School, who earned All-American honors from the American 
Volleyball Coaches Association. She is the first Pearland ISD 
volleyball player to be named an AVCA All-American.
  Katarina is among 100 of the nation's top high school senior 
volleyball players who represent 33 states and 90 high schools. In 
order to receive this distinction, she was first nominated by Pearland 
Lady Oilers head coach John Turner. Coach Turner has commented on 
Katrina's passion, incredible work ethic and love of the game. It is 
clear that these three attributes have served Katrina well.
  On behalf of all residents of the Twenty-Second Congressional 
District of Texas, it's an honor to recognize Katarina Morton and her 
accomplishment of earning All-American honors. We are all very proud of 
her and wish her the best of luck at Kennesaw State University.
