  CONGRATULATING MATTIE KINDELSPERGER FOR WINNING THE IHSA'S CLASS 1A 
                      TITLE IN THE 3200-METER RUN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 13, 2021

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mattie 
Kindelsperger, a senior at Sherrard High School, who won the Illinois 
High School Association's Class 1A state championship in the 3200-meter 
run.
  Mattie beat her qualifying time by twelve seconds to win the state 
championship with a time of 11:19.93. As a former student athlete, I 
understand the time that goes into being awarded such a title, and I 
applaud Mattie's persistence and hard work to archive her goals. I am 
proud to see her represent Sherrard exceptionally well throughout the 
state.
  It is because of student leaders such as Mattie that I am especially 
proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District. Madam Speaker, I 
would like to again formally congratulate Mattie Kindelsperger on her 
state championship, and I join the entire Sherrard community in wishing 
her every success in the future.

                          ____________________
