          COMMENDING DARRIS SMITH ON HIS ATHLETIC ACHIEVEMENTS

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Darris 
Smith for his outstanding athletic achievements, having won two State 
track titles for Appling County High School in Baxley, Georgia.
  The senior took home first place in the Georgia High School 
Association Class 3A 400-meter individual race in Carrollton, as well 
as the gold medal on Appling County's 4x400-meter relay team.
  Darris is not your typical track star. The 6-foot-6-inch, 230-pound 
runner is also a standout basketball player as well as one of the top 
football recruits in the Nation, committed to playing linebacker at the 
University of Georgia. Go Dawgs.
  He finished his high school football career rated as the Nation's 
number 14 defensive end and the number 162 overall prospect for 2022.
  These unbelievable achievements are worth appreciation and will 
inspire the next generation of athletes to push for their goals.
  Congratulations, Darris. We are all excited to see where your talent 
and hard work take you. Go Dawgs.
