RECOGNIZING THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF OTTUMWA'S COLLINS CLINGMAN
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from
Iowa (Mrs. Miller-Meeks) for 5 minutes.
Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the
accomplishments of Ottumwa's Collins Clingman.
Collins recently won gold in the men's 100-meter walk and the bronze
in the 50-meter run while representing

Team Iowa at this year's Special Olympics USA Games.
Collins is used to the competition after participating in Special
Olympics for the past 25 years, competing in multiple track and field
events and bowling.
As a fellow Hawkeye and Indian Hills fan, I applaud Collins'
accomplishments in Orlando and representing Ottumwa and Iowa in the
Special Olympics. I cannot wait to cheer him on in future USA Games.
Recognizing the Accomplishments of Maxwell Rantilla of Bettendorf, Iowa
Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the
accomplishments of Maxwell Rantilla of Bettendorf, Iowa.
Maxwell is currently a junior at Bettendorf High School. This past
year, Maxwell joined millions of students across the country in taking
the ACT test. This test is used by colleges to help with admissions
decisions and tests students on their knowledge of English, reading,
math, and science.
Maxwell's commitment to studying paid off when he got a perfect score
on the ACT. Out of the millions of high schoolers who take the
standardized test, only 0.5 percent receive a perfect score.
Maxwell is very involved at Bettendorf High School, qualifying for
the national tournament the past 3 years in the speech and debate club.
He is a member of the school band and the president of Bettendorf High
School's National Honor Society.
I congratulate Maxwell on this outstanding accomplishment. I know
that this is just the beginning of his journey, and I cannot wait to
hear about his future accomplishments and endeavors.
