                     RECOGNIZING VERONICA SIERZANT

  (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. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
Veronica Sierzant for winning the Lawton M. Calhoun award from the 
Greater Savannah Athletics Hall of Fame.
  The Calhoun award is presented annually to the most outstanding 
athlete across all sports in Chatham County. Veronica is a senior at 
Islands High School and has committed to playing volleyball next year 
at Syracuse University where both her parents competed in athletics.
  She was selected as the Savannah Morning News Player of the Year her 
junior year and has been the first three-time champion of the Hollis 
Stacy award, which is given to the most outstanding female athlete in 
Savannah.
  During her senior season, she was voted team captain and led the 
Raiders to a Region 3-4A title.
  Off the court, Veronica is a member of the National Honor Society, 
the Spanish National Honor Society, and the Future Farmers of America.
  Madam Speaker, I wish her the best of luck and know she will 
represent the First District well at Syracuse University this fall.
