                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 20, 2019

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Kyle Kruhtoff, 
a senior from Erie-Prophetstown High School, who won the Illinois High 
School Association's Class 1A State Finals Boys Track and Field 
Tournament in Pole Vaulting. Kyle set the Class 1A record at 16 feet, 8 
inches, beating the previous mark of 16 feet 3 inches held by two 
others.
  Kyle is a record-setter with the talent to go even further in the 
athletic world. He broke records after overcoming a serious injury. As 
a former athlete, I appreciate the fortitude Kyle displayed to achieve 
his dream of being a state champion and commend him for his 
determination and passion. Kyle is an example of the importance of 
dedication and a strong work ethic. I am delighted to see such young 
talent in our community and to see him represent Erie-Prophetstown so 
well throughout the state.
  It is because of student leaders such as Kyle that I am especially 
proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District. Madam Speaker, I 
would like to again formally congratulate Kyle Kruhtoff on his Class 1A 
State Finals title in Boys Track and Field.
