                     CONGRATULATING KENNY BEDNAREK

  (Mr. TIFFANY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. TIFFANY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Kenny Bednarek 
of Rice Lake, Wisconsin, on qualifying for the Paris Summer Olympics in 
the 100- and 200-meter sprints.
  Kenny is from a small town in northwest Wisconsin where he has been 
representing the Seventh District since he was in high school. At Rice 
Lake High School, he captured seven individual State titles and led his 
team to the 
4-by-400 relay championship. He then went on to set the fastest indoor 
200-meter time in the United States and the second fastest in the world 
before becoming an Olympian in 2020.
  During the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, he won a silver medal in the 
200-meter dash.
  I wish Kung Fu Kenny and all of the U.S. athletes the best of luck in 
Paris. Go for the gold.
