                       Tuesday, December 15, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Ryan Schweizer from Dowling Catholic High School for 
winning the Class 4A Boys Cross Country individual title. Ryan is the 
son of Mike and Kathy Schweizer.
  Ryan has spent his high school career working towards a single goal: 
winning a coveted state championship. After 4 long years of hard work, 
Ryan was able to achieve that goal when he crossed the finish line at 
the 2015 Class 4A Boys Cross Country State Championship. He finished 4 
seconds ahead of any other runner.
  Mr. Speaker, the example set by Ryan demonstrates the rewards of hard 
work, dedication, and perseverance. I am honored to represent him and 
his family in the United States Congress. I ask that all of my 
colleagues in the United States House of Representatives join me in 
congratulating Ryan on competing in this rigorous competition and 
wishing him nothing but continued success in his education and athletic 
pursuits.
