 CONGRATULATING LOGAN LEE ON HIS WIN AT THE CLASS 1A STATE FINALS FOR 
                               WRESTLING

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 25, 2019

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Logan Lee, a 
senior from Orion High School, who won the Illinois High School 
Association's Class 1A State Finals Wrestling Tournament. Lee completed 
a 21-1 season by securing a 7-5 decision over Tyler Elsbury of Byron.
  Logan Lee captured the 285-pound state title in exciting fashion on 
the University of Illinois' campus. After conceding a controversial 
takedown to his opponent with only :54 seconds left in the match, Logan 
quickly escaped to even the match at 5 points apiece. With overtime 
approaching, Logan went on the offense, and showed great determination 
to secure the go-ahead takedown with only seconds left in the bout--
leaving his opponent next to no time to respond. As a former athlete, I 
appreciate the fortitude Logan displayed to achieve his dream of being 
a state champion and commend him for his efforts and attitude. Logan is 
an example of the importance of dedication and a strong work ethic. I 
am proud there is such young talent in our community, and to see him 
represent Orion so well throughout the state.
  It is because of student leaders such as Logan that I am especially 
proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District. Madam Speaker, I 
would like to again formally congratulate Logan Lee on his Class 1A 
State Finals title in wrestling.
