                 CONGRATULATING IAN KUEHL ON HIS TITLE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                               of illnois

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 25, 2018

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ian Kuehl, a 
senior from Stockton High School, for earning the 285 pound Class IA 
title for the Illinois State Championship in Wrestling.
  Ian Kuehl pinned his last opponent of the season in 3 minutes and 25 
seconds to claim his title as state champion, and I would like to 
recognize Ian for his tremendous accomplishment. Ian's dedication and 
passion for his sport meant that he was determined to win gold and cap 
off his season of 47 wins and only 1 loss. As a former athlete, I 
understand the amount of hard work and commitment to be awarded such a 
title. Ian is an example of the importance of dedication and a strong 
work ethic. I am proud there is such young talent in our community, and 
to see him represent Stockton throughout the state.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate Ian Kuehl on 
his state title, and I join the rest of the community in wishing him 
every success in the future.

                          ____________________
