                         Friday, July 28, 2017

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Rowan Dumond of 
Katy, TX, for winning a gold medal for his floor routine at the U.S. 
Men's Junior Olympic National Championship.
  I was both Rowan's first gold at the Junior Olympics and his first 
time competing there. The 12-year-old competed against 800 of the top 
junior gymnasts in the country. When not training at the gym, Rowan is 
also a student at Seven Lakes High School and plays percussion with the 
band.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Rowan for winning gold at the Junior Olympics. 
We are very proud of him and look forward to his future success as a 
gymnast. We're excited to have him represent TX-22.
