                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 14, 2016

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Capt. Will Cannon 
and Capt. Jonathan Maulden of Cabarrus County EMS who took home the top 
prize at the 2016 Carolina's Paramedic Competition in Greenville, SC on 
October 15, 2016. The duo of Cannon and Maulden faced eleven other 
teams from North Carolina and South Carolina as they competed in two 
medical emergency scenarios.
  Established in 1997, the Carolina Competition pits the best of the 
best EMS teams against each other as they showcase their ability to 
respond to complex scenarios. As the competition has grown, the teams 
have gotten stronger and the competition has been recognized as the 
gold standard for these types of first responder events. This year's 
contest was no exception, making Cannon and Maulden's victory even more 
impressive.
  By winning this year's competition, Capts. Cannon and Maulden are 
taking home their second top prize having already won in 2014. This 
also marks the third occasion when a team from Cabarrus County EMS has 
won the event. Capt. Cannon and Capt. Maulden have made their 
department proud and are extremely deserving of this recognition. I am 
extremely grateful that our community is fortunate enough to have such 
great public servants who truly excel in their fields.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me today in congratulating Capt. Will Cannon 
and Capt. Jonathan Maulden on winning this impressive distinction and 
wishing them well as they continue to serve the people of Cabarrus 
County.
