         IN RECOGNITION OF ALEXA EFRAIMSON OF CAMAS, WASHINGTON

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. JAIME HERRERA BEUTLER

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, June 9, 2014

  Ms. HERRERA BEUTLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Alexa 
Efraimson and the Camas High School girls' track and field team for 
their success at the Washington state track and field championships.
   Two weeks ago, Alexa won the 1,600-meter race for the second year in 
a row and won her second 800-meter race on Saturday, May 31. She not 
only won the Washington state title in the 1,600-meter, but she broke 
the national high school record. Right now, no high school woman in 
this country is faster than she is at the 1,600-meter race; she is 
second to none.
   I am also very proud to congratulate the girls' track and field team 
from my hometown of Camas for placing second at the state meet. Their 
success stands as evidence that each individual athlete has the 
ability, the desire, the determination, and the commitment to stay the 
course and excel in achieving their goals.
   Today, I ask all Members of Congress to join me as we honor Alexa 
and the Camas High School girls' track and field team on a job well 
done at Washington State's track and field state championship.

                          ____________________
