  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Sugar Land 
siblings Octavia and DeMario Gee for winning five 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 an incredible national record of 86 feet, 8 inches. Her 
brother DeMario placed fourth in the 11-year-old boy's javelin, with a 
throw of 110 feet, 6 inches. DeMario was also recently chosen to play 
for the USA Baseball 12U national team trials.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Octavia and DeMario Gee in their success at 
the AAU Junior Olympics. We are so proud of such a talented family. 
Keep up the great work.
