                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, July 7, 2016

  Mr. TIBERI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Andrew Jordan of 
Watkins Memorial High School for winning the Boys 3,200 Meter Run at 
the Division I Ohio High School Track and Field State Championship as 
well as the Boys 1,600 Meter Run during the Midwest Meet of Champions.
  Since 1907, the Ohio High School Athletic Association has enabled 
talented teams and individuals to earn state titles. Throughout this 
time, the champions of OHSAA state level competitions have represented 
the highest achieving and most talented athletes in Ohio. The young 
student athletes who emerge victorious then have the privilege to 
compete against fellow champions from the states of Indiana and 
Michigan in the Midwest Meet of Champions.
  Andrew's victories cap a tremendous season. This sort of achievement 
is earned only through many hours of practice, perspiration and hard 
work. He has set a new standard for future athletes to reach. Everyone 
at Watkins Memorial High School can be extremely proud of his 
performance.
  On behalf of the citizens of Ohio's 12th Congressional District, I 
congratulate Andrew Jordan on his State and Midwestern regional 
championships. I wish him continued success in both his athletic and 
academic endeavors.

                          ____________________
