                        Tuesday, August 20, 2019

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Koby 
Brackemeyer, a junior from Morrison High School, for winning the 
Illinois High School Association's Class 1A State Finals Boys Track and 
Field Tournament in the 4X800 Meter Relay. Koby and his team finished 
first with a time of 7:57.85.
  Koby ran the opening leg and turned in a 1:57.8 to put Morrison ahead 
instantly. By giving his teammates such an advantage, the team was in 
an incredible position to finish first. As a former athlete, I 
appreciate the fortitude Koby displayed to achieve his dream of being a 
state champion and commend him for his athleticism and leadership. Koby 
is an example of the importance of dedication and a strong work ethic. 
I am elated with the presence of such young talent in our community and 
to see him represent Morrison so well throughout the state.
  It is because of student leaders such as Koby that I am especially 
proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District. Madam Speaker, I 
would like to again formally congratulate Koby Brackemeyer on his Class 
1A State Finals title in Boys Track and Field.
