                       Tuesday, February 25, 2020

  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Riley Dolence 
for her accomplishments in crew. As a four-time world record holder, 
Riley's impressive achievements are worthy of commendation.
  Riley Dolence is a student at Trenton High School in Michigan. Beyond 
academics, Riley is an accomplished athlete who has recently earned a 
host of awards and accolades for her involvement in crew. Since last 
November, Riley has set four world records in her age group including 
the records for most meters on the erg in sixty minutes, most meters on 
the erg in four minutes, fastest time to complete a half marathon, and 
fastest time to complete a full marathon. Despite her overwhelming 
success, Riley hopes to earn even more world records in the coming 
months.
  Riley Dolence's success in crew is a testament to her unrelenting 
hard work and dedication to the sport. As a genuine and enthusiastic 
team-player, Riley is regarded by her teammates and coaches as a humble 
and passionate leader who motivates others to do their best. Even as a 
junior, Riley already understand the importance of commitment and 
discipline. She will carry these values throughout all her future 
endeavors, and we are confident she will continue to achieve greatness.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Riley 
Dolence for her remarkable achievements in crew. It is clear Riley's 
future is bright, and we all wish her continued success in the years 
ahead.
