                    CONGRATULATING JILLIAN LARRABEE

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jillian 
Larrabee from Durham High School in northern California for winning the 
giant slalom race during the California-Nevada Interscholastic Ski and 
Snowboard Federation championships.
  As a resident of Durham, Jillian lived on her family's farm during 
the week and drove to Lake Tahoe on the weekends to train and pursue 
her dream of professional skiing.
  Her high school never had a ski and snowboard team, so Jillian 
petitioned the Durham Unified School Board in hopes of bringing a team 
to her school. Earlier this year, the board approved her request for 
the 2020 season.
  Jillian was the lone competitor to make the championship from Durham 
High during their inaugural year. She finished her first run in 1 
minute and 13 seconds and then narrowed that time by clocking a run of 
1 minute and 9.6 seconds, which finished a full second faster than the 
second-place skier in the giant slalom.
  As a result of her outstanding performance, Jillian was named to the 
all-State team, the only member from the Butte County area.
  From hard work and persistence comes great success for her and her 
school. Congratulations, Jillian.
