  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Gabriel Oladipo 
of Missouri City, TX for winning the national championship in the 
discus at the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Junior Olympics.
  Gabriel competed in two events at the Junior Olympics, the discus and 
shot put. His impressive throw of 192 feet, 6 inches in the discus 
earned him the esteemed national championship. In the shot put 
competition, Gabriel made Missouri City proud with his second place 
throw of 61 feet, .25 inches. Gabriel is a senior at Fort Bend's 
Hightower High School and competed in the discus in the 2015 
International Association of Athletics Federations World Youth 
Championships.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Gabriel Oladipo for winning the national 
championship in the discus at the AAU Junior Olympics. Keep up the 
great work.
