  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize First Colony 
SynchroStar's Abby Remmers, who was named to the 13-15 U.S. National 
Swim Team 2.
  Abby Remmers competed against the top 30 athletes ages 13 through 15. 
Remmers outperformed them all, and earned-a spot on the National Team. 
The final phase of the competition took place in Mesa, Arizona. Remmers 
will spend her summer training in both Riverside and Moraga, California 
and will represent the United States in early September at the Pan-
American Championships in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, I 
would like to congratulate Abby Remmers for earning a spot on the 13 
through 15 U.S. National Team. She is making Sugar Land proud and we 
look forward to seeing her represent both our district and country this 
upcoming September.
