earning the Class IA title for the Illinois State Championship in the 
100 and 200 meter dash for track and field.
  Easton Bianchi ran 10.83 seconds in the 100 meter dash and 21.93 
seconds in the 200 meter dash to claim his title as state champion, and 
I would like to recognize Easton for his tremendous accomplishment. 
Easton's dedication and passion for his sport meant that he was 
determined to win gold. As a former athlete, I understand the amount of 
hard work and commitment to be awarded such a title. Easton 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 Sterling throughout the state.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate Easton 
Bianchi on his title, and I join the rest of the community in wishing 
him every success in the future
