                       CONGRATULATING PAT PECORA

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate Pat Pecora, Pitt-Johnstown's wrestling coach, on his 
fourth NCAA Division II National Wrestling Coach of the Year Award.
  This award is presented to the coach who has demonstrated outstanding 
effort throughout the season in developing and elevating their program 
on campus and in the community. Pat has previously received this award 
in 1995, 1999, and 2019 for his efforts at Pitt-Johnstown.
  This season, Pat led the Mountain Cats to a 13-1 dual-meet record and 
the program's 24th NCAA regional title. This year's team won a share of 
the PSAC dual-meet title for their sixth straight conference 
championship.
  This recognition is well-deserved for Pat; and he is the all-time 
winningest coach in college wrestling at all divisions of the NCAA. In 
his 46 years at Pitt-Johnstown, he has recorded 631 victories.
  Madam Speaker, Pat is an incredible coach and a great role model for 
the Pitt-Johnstown community.
  Congratulations again on this well-deserved recognition and award.
  Go Mountain Cats.
