                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 25, 2018

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Maverick 
McPeek, a senior from Lena-Winslow High School, for earning the 220 
pound Class 1A title for the Illinois State Championship in Wrestling.
  Maverick McPeek defeated his opponent 3-2 to claim his title as state 
champion, and I would like to recognize Maverick for his tremendous 
accomplishment. Maverick's dedication and passion for his sport meant 
that he was determined to win gold and cap off his season of 40 wins 
and 2 losses. 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 Dakota, 
Illinois throughout the state.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate Maverick 
McPeek on his state title, and I join the rest of the community in 
wishing him every success in the future.

                          ____________________
