                         Monday, March 2, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Nolan Hellickson of Southeast Polk High School for winning 
the Class 3A 126 pound bracket at the Iowa High School State Wrestling 
tournament on February 21, 2015.
  Iowa has a long and proud history of strong wrestling programs in our 
state, producing college and Olympic champions for years. Winning a 
state championship is the culmination of years of hard work and 
commitment, not only on the part of Mr. Hellickson, but also his 
family, teammates, and coaches.
  Mr. Speaker, the example set by this student-athlete demonstrates the 
rewards of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. I am honored to 
represent him and his family in the United States Congress. I know all 
of my colleagues in the House join me in congratulating Nolan on 
competing in this rigorous competition and wishing continued success in 
his education and wrestling career.

                          ____________________
