                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. SUZAN K. DelBENE

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 24, 2021

  Ms. DelBENE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Aaron Keith of 
Woodinville, Washington on his first Paralympic medal. Mr. Keith is a 
prolific cyclist, who started competing his senior year of high school. 
He went on to average 30 to 40 competitions a year as a collegiate 
athlete at the University of Virginia and later as a member of a 
cycling club in Charlottesville, VA. After suffering a biking accident 
and undergoing multiple surgeries, Mr. Keith was left with residual 
paralysis. As he recovered, Mr. Keith began researching para-cycling 
and went on to train diligently and join the U.S. Paralympic Cycling 
National Team in 2013.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Mr. Keith, 
an incredible athlete, teammate, and community member on his silver 
medal in the men's C1 time trial. He has left an indelible mark on 
para-cycling and the program at Team USA.
