IN RECOGNITION OF HENRY ANDERSON AND HIS EFFORTS FOR THE UNITED STATES 
                        NATURAL TRACK LUGE TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MIKE GALLAGHER

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 24, 2019

  Mr. GALLAGHER. Madam Speaker, today I rise in honor of the 
outstanding achievement of Appleton, Wisconsin, resident, Mr. Henry 
Anderson. I rise to recognize Henry for representing the United States 
Natural Track Luge Team in upcoming World Cup events. To be selected to 
represent the United States on a worldwide stage is a significant 
honor. This is not only an incredible opportunity but also an 
outstanding accomplishment for a young man merely 14 years old. I wish 
Henry and his teammate, Torrey Cookman of the Honorable Mr. Bergman's 
District, all the best in their preparation and competition.
  Henry and Torrey departed on Christmas Day 2018 for Austria to begin 
preparation for the World Championship series, which is held at 
different venues across Europe, including Austria, Italy, and Germany 
in January and February. They are competing with world-class 
competition and representing Northeast Wisconsin and the United States 
with pride and dignity both on and off the track.
  As Henry continues his travels in Europe to prepare for the World Cup 
Championship Series, I wish him the best of luck, the best memories and 
life experiences that I hope he will reflect on as he grows older. The 
team's travels will allow its members to showcase some of the great 
talent that the United States and Northeast Wisconsin has to offer. 
While this is Henry's first time competing for Team USA, I am certain 
it will not be his last.
  Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Henry Anderson for his 
participation in the Natural Luge World Championship as a member of the 
United States Natural Track Luge Team. Wisconsinites can take great 
pride in knowing the Eighth District is home to such a talented and 
dedicated individual. On behalf of my constituents, I wish Henry all 
the best in his future endeavors.
