                     OCTAVIA GEE--BEST IN THE WORLD

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. PETE OLSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, October 7, 2015

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate nine year old 
Octavia Gee from Sugar Land, Texas for setting a world shot put record.
  Octavia, a student at Settler Way Elementary, recently competed at 
the Texas Vs. The World All Comers Meet with the goal of setting a 
world record in the nine-year-old division with an 8.8-pound shot put. 
If Octavia was nervous, she didn't show it, blasting the old record 
with a throw of 7.28 meters. Even better--she broke the world record on 
her mom's birthday. Octavia made her family, friends, and community 
proud. We look forward to seeing her set more records. We'll definitely 
see Octavia in future Olympic games.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations to Octavia for setting a world shot put record.
