                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 10, 2021

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize MaKenna Peed of 
Kewanee High School for winning four gold medals for Track in the IHSA 
State Competition.
  MaKenna competed in the 100 meters (41.12 seconds), 200 meters 
(1:32.09), shot put (2.23 meters), and discus (5.28 meters), winning 
gold in all four events. She is also the first Kewanee High School 
athlete to medal in the Athletes with Disabilities Division. As a 
former student athlete, I admire and appreciate MaKenna's hard work and 
dedication to track. I am proud that she represented Kewanee High 
School and the community exceptionally well throughout the state.
  It is because of student leaders such as MaKenna that I am especially 
proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District. Madam Speaker, I 
would once again like to congratulate MaKenna Peed on her success in 
Track while competing at the state level.
