                     CONGRATULATING KATIE NAGEOTTE

  (Mr. GONZALEZ of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. GONZALEZ of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, after postponing 1 year due to the 
COVID-19 pandemic, I am excited that, on Friday, the Olympic Games in 
Tokyo will officially begin.
  What better way to mark this occasion than by recognizing the 
incredible accomplishment of Katie Nageotte, who will be one of the 
many Olympians competing in this year's summer games.
  A native of Olmsted Falls, Katie is a graduate of Olmsted Falls High 
School and Ashland University who will be representing our community 
and country in this summer's games, competing in the women's pole vault 
event.
  Her victory at the U.S. trials in the women's pole vault event caps a 
5-year campaign to reach the Olympic Games, and she joins an elite list 
of northeast Ohioans to qualify for the games.
  I am incredibly proud of Katie for earning this opportunity to 
represent not only our community but the United States.
  Congratulations to Katie and her family. We look forward to watching 
her make northeast Ohio proud.
