                    IN RECOGNITION OF EMILY RICHARDS

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. PATRICK J. TIBERI

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, July 7, 2016

  Mr. TIBERI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Emily Richards of 
Ohio Northern University for winning the Women's 800-Meter Run in the 
NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
  An achievement such as this certainly deserves recognition. The 
National Collegiate Athletic Association has enabled talented teams and 
individuals to earn national titles since its founding in 1906. 
Throughout this time, the champions of NCAA national level competitions 
have represented the highest achieving and most talented athletes in 
the country. Each year these elite competitors join the ranks of those 
who embody the nation's proud history of athletic success.
  Emily's victory caps a tremendous season. This sort of achievement is 
earned only through many hours of practice, perspiration and hard work. 
She has set a new standard for future athletes to reach. Everyone at 
Ohio Northern University can be extremely proud of her performance.
  On behalf of the citizens of Ohio's 12th Congressional District, I 
congratulate Emily Richards on her National Championship. I wish her 
continued success in both her athletic and academic endeavors.
