                       HONORING MACKENZIE CONNELL

  (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. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mackenzie 
Connell for being recognized as one of the Atlanta Journal-
Constitution's top 15 high school girl golfers in the State of Georgia.
  Mackenzie joins a very elite class of young women golfers. This 
selection process is highly competitive and includes every young woman 
in the Georgia High School Association.
  Since joining the Pierce County High School girls' golf team, 
Mackenzie has won many prestigious honors. A few of these include being 
named the 2023 GHSA AA Player of the Year, the 2024 GHSA AA Area 1 Low 
Medalist, and a two-time 912 Sports Magazine Player of the Year.
  In both 2022 and 2023, the Pierce County girls' golf team won back-
to-back State championships. Mackenzie was an integral player on both 
teams. During the 2023 State Championship Golf Tournament, she was 
named the GHSA State Low Medalist where she shot a tournament low of 
73.
  Outside of golf, Mackenzie is recognized as one of the top performing 
students in her class. She boasts a stellar GPA and is involved in a 
whole host of extracurricular activities.
  Congratulations to Mackenzie. I look forward to seeing all that she 
will accomplish in the future as she continues to make our district 
proud.
