                            HON. PETE OLSON

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 12, 2016

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Sugar Land, TX 
native Octavia Gee for winning three gold medals at the Amateur 
Athletic Union Junior Olympics.
  Octavia competed for the Houston Sonics Track Club and won gold in 
turbo javelin, shot put and triathlon. In the 10 Girls Turbo Javelin, 
she tossed a remarkable national record of 86 feet, 8 inches. When it 
comes to breaking records however, Octavia is no stranger. In the last 
year she has broken two world shot put records, with her most recent in 
February in the 10-year-old division at the 2016 Lions/Outright 
Performance Winter Series-Throws Meet Number 2, where she threw 26 
feet, 11.75 inches. Octavia's hard work and talent make our Sugar Land 
community proud.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Octavia Gee for winning three gold medals at 
the AAU Junior Olympics. Keep up the great work.

                          ____________________
