                    IN RECOGNITION OF NICK STRICKLEN

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. PATRICK J. TIBERI

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, July 7, 2016

  Mr. TIBERI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Nick Stricklen of 
Lexington High School for winning the Boys 3200 Meter Run at the 
Division II Ohio High School Track and Field State Championship.
   An achievement such as this certainly deserves recognition. The Ohio 
High School Athletic Association has enabled talented teams and 
individuals to earn state titles since its founding in 1907. Throughout 
this time, the champions of OHSAA state level competitions have 
represented the highest achieving and most talented athletes in Ohio. 
Each year these elite competitors join the ranks of those who embody 
Ohio's proud history of athletic success.
   Nick's victory caps 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 
Lexington High School can be extremely proud of his performance.
   On behalf of the citizens of Ohio's 12th Congressional District, I 
congratulate Nick Stricklen on his state championship. I wish him 
continued success in both his athletic and academic endeavors.

                          ____________________
