 MILAN YOUNG WINS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP AT THE AMATEUR ATHLETIC UNION 
                            JUNIOR OLYMPICS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. PETE OLSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 12, 2016

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Milan Young of 
Richmond, TX for winning the national championship at the Amateur 
Athletic Union Junior Olympics.
  Milan leapt to victory with a time of 13.85 seconds in the 100-meter 
hurdles. Currently at Lamar High School, she suffered from stress-
fractures in her pelvis as a sophomore. After qualifying for the Class 
6A meet as a freshman, Milan was forced to take an entire season and 
summer to heal. The future Olympic hopeful has clearly returned from 
her injury with vengeance and has her sights on what's next.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Milan Young for her national championship win 
at the AAU Junior Olympics. We are proud of her for bringing this win 
home to Richmond and wish her luck with her future track and field 
career.
