                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 10, 2018

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an 
athletic young lady, Ms. Bria Carbo of Clinton, Mississippi.
  Bria Carbo is the youngest child of Ron Carbo and Dana Carbo-Bryant. 
She is one of three siblings to Brent and Jolie Carbo. Currently, Bria 
is a Junior of Clinton High School in Clinton, MS.
  Bria Carbo is a very outgoing and athletic young lady, who is 
carrying on a legacy of track athletes in her family. Bria began 
running track at the age of eight (8), participating on the Amos track 
team and the Mississippi Track Stars summer track program in the 
Jackson, MS area. She began her school track career at Byram Middle 
School, Byram, MS and continued on when she transferred to Clinton 
Middle School, Clinton, MS. In 8th grade, Bria started varsity cross 
country with Coach Marett and varsity track in 9th grade with Coach 
Perkins. She has had the privilege of being a part of the state 
championship winning Clinton track team, three out of their 5 wins.
  Bria's family history in track is very valuable. Her father, Ron, had 
a successful varsity and Junior Olympic track career as a native of New 
Orleans, La. Her older siblings, Brent and Jolie, were sprinters for 
Terry High School, Terry, MS. Her sister, Jolie, is currently 
completing her senior year as a member of the track team for the 
University of Mississippi. All three (3) have participated in the 
Junior Olympics at some point in their track careers.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Ms. Bria 
Carbo for her hard work and dedication at Clinton High School and I 
wish her much success as she continues to pursue her track career and 
carry her family's legacy.
