  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize and congratulate 
Liz Skillern of Shenandoah, Iowa for her selection as the Valley News' 
2017 Person of the Year. Liz is a teacher and coach at Shenandoah High 
School in Shenandoah.
  Liz is a native of Aurelia, Iowa. She attended Northwest University 
and earned a degree in education and coaching. She has taught various 
subjects over the years and has been instrumental in starting cross-
country programs in several schools. Liz has been very successful 
coaching girls cross-country programs and leading them to state 
qualifying events. She has a reputation of fostering dedicated and 
hardworking athletes and has earned the respect of her students.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate Liz for earning this award. I 
ask that my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives 
join me in congratulating Liz for her many accomplishments in education 
and coaching and in wishing her nothing but continued success.
