            CONGRATULATING SHAI McDONALD AND BRICE PATTERSON

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Montana (Mr. Gianforte) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. GIANFORTE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize two young 
Montanans who are among the best in rodeo.
  In this month's National High School Finals Rodeo in Wyoming, Montana 
was well represented with competitors from across the State. The 
National High School Finals Rodeo drew about 1,500 finalists from 43 
States, Mexico, Canada, and Australia.
  Two Montanans won buckles for placing in the top 10 in their event. 
Shai McDonald of Gardiner took second in barrel racing, and Brice 
Patterson of Bozeman took fourth in bareback riding.
  Rodeo is a time-honored tradition in Montana, and it is part of our 
way of life.
  The outstanding work ethic and dedication of these young athletes 
allows them to compete and succeed at this high level.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Shai and Brice on their accomplishments 
at the National High School Finals Rodeo.
