 IN RECOGNITION OF THE LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL BOYS TRACK AND FIELD TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. PATRICK J. TIBERI

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, July 7, 2016

  Mr. TIBERI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Lexington High 
School for winning the Boys 4 800 Meter Relay at the Division II Ohio 
High School Track and Field State Championship.
  For over a century, the Ohio High School Athletic Association has 
provided Ohio's finest student athletes with the opportunity to earn a 
state championship. Each year young men and women spend countless hours 
practicing and training in an effort to join the ranks of Ohio's elite 
athletes. Although many strive to earn the title of state champion, 
only a select few will achieve this honor.
  Lexington's victory caps a tremendous season. This sort of 
achievement stands as a testament to their hard work. Nick Stricklen, 
Bailey Stach, Ryan Johnston, and Forest Volz have set a new standard 
for future athletes to reach. Everyone at Lexington High School can be 
extremely proud of their performance.
  On behalf of the citizens of Ohio's 12th Congressional District, I 
congratulate Lexington High School's Boys Track and Field on their 
state championship. I wish their team continued success in their future 
athletic endeavors.
