    IN RECOGNITION OF THE COLUMBUS ACADEMY 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 Columbus Academy 
for winning the Boys 4 200 Meter Relay at the Division III 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.
  Columbus Academy's victory caps a tremendous season. This sort of 
achievement stands as a testament to their hard work. Logan Baker, 
Michael Kusi, Kevin Boyce, and Jerome Buckner have set a new standard 
for future athletes to reach. Everyone at Columbus Academy can be 
extremely proud of their performance.
  On behalf of the citizens of Ohio's 12th Congressional District, I 
congratulate Columbus Academy Boys Track and Field on their state 
championship. I wish their team continued success in their future 
athletic endeavors.
