 RECOGNIZING OLYMPIANS FROM NORTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURAL AND TECHNICAL 
                            STATE UNIVERSITY

  (Ms. MANNING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. MANNING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today, ahead of the 2021 Tokyo 
Olympics, to recognize the Olympians from North Carolina Agricultural 
and Technical State University, the largest HBCU in the Nation, located 
in my district in Greensboro, North Carolina.
  It gives me great pride to recognize Trevor Stewart and Randolph 
Ross, Jr., who will represent the United States on the track and field 
team.
  Randolph Ross, Jr., a sophomore, is competing in the men's 400-meter 
and the 4x400-meter relay, and Trevor Stewart, a senior, will compete 
in the men's 4x400-meter relay.
  Two other Aggie runners will compete in the Olympic track and field 
events. Akeem Sirleaf will compete for Liberia, and Daniel Stokes will 
compete for Mexico.
  With all four of these young men qualifying, the entire Aggie 4x400-
meter relay team will run in the Olympics.
  I also recognize NC A&T director of track and field programs, Duane 
Ross. Coach Ross' leadership has propelled his team forward to success.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the athletes and coach on this tremendous 
achievement. On behalf of North Carolina's Sixth District, I am sending 
them the best of luck in Tokyo. Go, Aggies.
