  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Danielle 
Taets, a freshman from Orion High School, for earning the Class 1A 
title for the Illinois State Championship in triple jump and the 100 
meter hurdles for track and field.
  Danielle Taets completed her 38 foot qualifying leap in triple jump 
and ran the 100 meter hurdles to claim her title as state champion, and 
I would like to recognize Danielle for her tremendous accomplishment. 
Danielle's dedication and passion for her sport meant that she was 
determined to win gold. As a former athlete, I understand the amount of 
hard work and commitment to be awarded such a title. Danielle 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 her 
represent Orion throughout the state.
  Mr Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate Danielle 
Taets on her title, and I join the rest of the community in wishing her 
every success in the future.
