                        Thursday, June 14, 2018

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Kyle Kruthoff, 
a junior from Erie High School, for earning the Class 1A title for the 
Illinois State Championship in pole vaulting.
  Kyle Kruthoff cleared 15 feet, 6 inches to claim his title as state 
champion, and I would like to recognize Kyle for his tremendous 
accomplishment. Kyle'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. Kyle 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 Erie throughout the state.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate Kyle 
Kruthoff on his title, and I join the rest of the community in wishing 
him every success in the future.
