  Mr. FRANCIS ROONEY of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of 
Melanie Allen and her recent recognition of being named the 2018 
Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Ms. Allen, an extraordinary 
tennis player, is also a cadet at the United States Military Academy.
  Melanie recently finished the season in West Point's No. 2 singles 
position where she had a record of 19-9 in singles matches and 21-3 in 
doubles matches, both of which boast as single-season personal bests. 
Not only is Melanie an excellent athlete, but she also holds a 3.65 GPA 
as a Psychology major.
  I congratulate Melanie Allen on her recent recognition for, and her 
dedication to, both athletics and academics. I look forward to hearing 
of her successes in the armed forces and beyond in the years to come.
