  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate John McConkey of CAM High School for winning the Class 2A, 
285 pound bracket at the Iowa High School State Wrestling tournament. 
John finished the season with a record of 57-1.
  Iowa has a long and proud history of strong wrestling programs, 
producing college and Olympic champions for years. John contributes his 
success to years of hard work and commitment and for the support from 
his parents, family, coaches and fellow teammates.
  Mr. Speaker, the example set by John demonstrates the rewards of 
dedication and perseverance. It is an honor representing John 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 John on 
competing in this rigorous competition and in wishing him nothing but 
continued success in his education and in his future endeavors.
