                        Friday, August 10, 2018

  Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a great Arkansan and 
one of the pillars of collegiate athletics in Arkansas--Coach Greg 
Harnden.
  Coach Harnden is retiring after 21 years as the Athletic Director of 
Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas.
  He helped facilitate Harding's move from the NAIA to the NCAA as well 
as Harding's move from the Gulf South Conference to its current home in 
the Great American Conference.
  Throughout his 21-year career, Coach Harnden has brought numerous 
championships to Central Arkansas and attracted top talent to our 
state, making Harding University one of the top programs in all of NCAA 
Division II (two).
  His impact has transcended the playing field as he has touched the 
lives of thousands of student-athletes from around the world.
  I congratulate Coach Harnden on an incredible career and wish him the 
best in his future endeavors.
