                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 7, 2021

  Ms. HERRERA BEUTLER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend and 
congratulate Alexis Leone of Seton Catholic High School for winning the 
Washington state 1A girls cross country championship. The COVID-19 
pandemic limited many of our prep athletes from competing during the 
2020 season, yet high school athletes like Alexis have demonstrated the 
ability to adapt and persevere in these competitions. For Alexis, that 
perseverance has paid off in a big way.
  Competing in prep sports is a wonderful opportunity to learn lessons 
in discipline, focus, team play, work ethic and comradery. Winning a 
state title is a momentous achievement Alexis can be proud of for the 
rest of her life, and I have confidence she will find success using the 
lessons she learned while competing in cross country. Go Cougars.
