                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 17, 2023

  Mr. ROSENDALE. Mr. Speaker, Montana rodeo competitors are the best in 
the world. In March 2023, Montana's own Lisa Lockhart demonstrated our 
state's rodeo prowess in front of 42,000 spectators at The American 
Rodeo, capturing her third national barrel racing title in the process.
  Lisa attended high school in northeast Montana just up the road from 
my ranch in Glendive and displayed a natural talent for rodeo at an 
early age. Before joining the professional circuit, she distinguished 
herself as a student-athlete on the Montana State University rodeo team 
and raced on the family ranch with her two sisters.
  Lisa dominates competitions nationwide, winning barrel racing 
competitions at the National Finals Rodeo in 2014 and 2016. But it 
wasn't until the founding of The American Rodeo in 2014 that her career 
really hit its stride.
  Lisa made all of Montana proud when she brought home the inaugural 
barrel racing title at The American Rodeo. A feat only matched by her 
second victory the following year. Lisa's third victory this year 
solidifies her position as a barrel racing icon and serves as a 
reminder that she is an unrivaled talent in her sport.
  All of Montana is grateful to Lisa for reaffirming our state's 
dominance in rodeo. Lisa's determination and grit will undoubtedly 
encourage many young Montanans to enter the arena and follow in her 
footsteps. I'll continue to watch her impressive career as she 
continues to cast a long shadow over rodeo.
  I encourage everyone to join me in congratulating Lisa Lockhart for 
her third victory at The American Rodeo, and it is my privilege to 
acknowledge her achievements in the U.S. House of Representatives.
