                  HONORING THE LIFE OF JACK MACKENZIE

  (Mr. LaHOOD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaHOOD. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to honor the life of Quincy 
University soccer coach Jack Mackenzie of Quincy, Illinois.
  Hired in 1969, Jack built Quincy University into a college soccer 
dynasty, guiding his program at all levels of college soccer, from the 
NAIA division through the NCAA's division II status, and even excelling 
at the NCAA's division I level.
  For 43 years, Jack was at the helm of the Quincy soccer program. He 
was a pioneer and a legend, leading the team to nine national 
championships between 1970 and 1982, and amassing 516 victories, 
putting him 10th on the all-time wins list across all NCAA division 
levels.
  Upon retirement in 2012, Jack remained involved in the Quincy 
University community and could still be found in the stands at every 
home game the Hawks played.
  As the Quincy University community continues to mourn the loss of 
Coach Jack Mackenzie, may we never forget the positive impact he had on 
so many lives, the sport of soccer, and his tireless spirit in pursuit 
of excellence.
