      ALICIA MONSON BREAKS THE AMERICAN RECORD IN THE 5,000 METERS

  (Mr. TIFFANY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TIFFANY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Alicia Monson 
of Amery, Wisconsin, on breaking the American record in the 5,000 
meters this past weekend. She ran 5,000 meters in 14 minutes and 19.45 
seconds, beating the previous record by 4.47 seconds.
  This is not the only record she has set this year. In February, she 
broke the North American indoor record in the 3,000 meters, and in 
March she set a new North American 10,000 meters record.
  Alicia has been representing Wisconsin's Seventh District since she 
was in high school running cross country and track. She went on to 
become one of the top runners for the University of Wisconsin--Madison 
before becoming an Olympian in 2021.
  Mr. Speaker, I can't wait to see what record she breaks next. Keep 
making Wisconsin proud, Alicia.
