                       Friday, September 10, 2021

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Julia Finazzo 
of Galena, Illinois, for winning the Long Jump at the IHSA State 
Championships.
  Julia Finazzo competed in the IHSA State Competition at Eastern 
Illinois University in the 100, 200, long jump and 4x100 meter relay. 
Finazzo finished first place in the long jump event, jumping 18 feet, 
which broke her own record. She also anchored the winning 4x100 meter 
relay, which set a program record with a winning time of 50.46. As a 
former student athlete, I admire and appreciate Julia's hard work and 
dedication to track. I am proud that she has represented the Galena 
community exceptionally well throughout the state.
  It is because of student leaders such as Julia that I am especially 
proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District. Madam Speaker, I 
would once again like to congratulate Julia Finazzo on her success in 
Track while competing at the state level.
