                       Friday, September 30, 2022

  Mrs. FLORES. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Michael 
Schlater of Brownsville, Texas on his amazing accomplishment of running 
100,000 miles.
  Mr. Schlater is currently the Assistant Track and Cross Country coach 
at Saint Joseph Academy and has one of the longest consecutive day 
running streaks in the world. For the past 21 years, Mr. Schlater has 
run at least three miles every day. On October 21st, he will complete 
over 100,000 career miles by completing his last two laps at the SJA 
stadium before the Homecoming football game.
  Mr. Schlater has served his community faithfully by being a role 
model for students in Brownsville. His commitment to his students and 
to the community is commendable and deserves recognition. It is only 
fitting that Mr. Schlater celebrates his final run amongst students, 
friends, and family, as he has devoted part of his career to the 
Brownsville community.
  Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Mr. Schlater for his 
accomplishment.
