                       Friday, September 28, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Vic Belger. Mr. Belger was inducted into the Creston High 
School Hall of Fame as Faculty Representative on Thursday, September 
20, 2018.
  Vic served as guidance counselor, driver's education teacher and head 
baseball coach in Creston for two decades starting in the early 1980's. 
His overall record as head baseball coach was 920-319, which ranks 27th 
all-time nationally for career victories. He also coached basketball at 
Creston for 9 seasons. He was named Iowa Coach of the year in 1990 and 
was inducted into the Iowa High School Baseball Coaches Association 
Hall of Fame in 1995. Vic and his wife, Pat, now live in Waukee, Iowa, 
where they attend their grandchildren's activities and Vic still 
teaches driver's education.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize Vic Belger for this award, and 
for providing the youth in Iowa's Third District the education and 
direction that they will need to be successful. I am proud to represent 
him and Creston Community Schools in the United States Congress. I ask 
that my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives join 
me in congratulating Vic Belger and wishing him nothing but continued 
success.
