                         HON. PATRICK J. TIBERI

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, January 3, 2017

  Mr. TIBERI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Zach Kreft of 
Buckeye Valley High School for winning the Ohio Division II State 
Individual Boys Cross Country Tournament.
   An achievement such as this certainly deserves recognition. The Ohio 
High School Athletic Association has enabled talented teams and 
individuals to earn state titles since its founding in 1907. Throughout 
this time, the champions of OHSAA state level competitions have 
represented the highest achieving and most talented athletes in Ohio. 
Each year these elite competitors join the long ranks of those who 
embody Ohio's proud history of athletic success.
   Zach Kreft's victory caps a tremendous season. This sort of 
achievement is earned only through many hours of practice, perspiration 
and hard work. He has set a new standard for future athletes to reach. 
Everyone at Buckeye Valley High School can be extremely proud of his 
performance.
   On behalf of the citizens of Ohio's 12th Congressional District, I 
congratulate Zach Kreft on his state championship. I wish him continued 
success in both athletic and academic endeavors.
