                        TRIBUTE TO CHASE SHILTZ

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 31, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Chase Shiltz of Creston High School for winning the Class 
2A, 182 pound bracket at the Iowa High School State Wrestling 
tournament earlier this year. This is Chase's third individual State 
Wrestling championship.
  In addition to the championship win, Chase was also chosen as the 
2017 Dan Gable Mr. Wrestler of the Year in Class 2A. Chase was quoted 
in the Creston News Advertiser as saying, `` `It shows all of the hard 
work paid off,' Shiltz said. `I credit all of the coaches, workout 
partners, my parents. It's a big reward for all of them.' ''
  Iowa has a long and proud history of strong wrestling programs, 
producing college and Olympic champions for years. Winning three state 
championships in a row has been the culmination of years of hard work 
and commitment, not only on the part of Chase, but also his parents, 
his family, coaches and fellow teammates.
  Mr. Speaker, the example set by Chase demonstrates the rewards of 
dedication and perseverance. It is an honor representing Chase and his 
family in the United States Congress, and it is with great pride that I 
recognize them today. I ask that all of my colleagues in the United 
States House of Representatives join me in congratulating Chase on 
competing in this rigorous competition and in wishing him nothing but 
continued success in his education and in his future college football 
career at Northwest Missouri State University.
