                     CONGRATULATING JANE HEDENGREN

  (Mr. KENNEDY of Utah asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KENNEDY of Utah. Mr. Speaker, I am grateful for the time you have 
granted me to acknowledge a stunning accomplishment by one of our high 
school athletes in Utah's Third District, Jane Hedengren.
  Jane runs track for Timpview High School in Provo, Utah. In an 
invitational meet in St. Louis, Missouri, on June 5, she swept the 
field by more than 12 seconds, setting a national high school women's 
and national women's 1-mile record for those under 20 years old of 4 
minutes 23.5 seconds, only 0.04 seconds over the women's collegiate 
mile record. Just 3 days later, she broke her own national high school 
2-mile record by 17 seconds. She has also set national records for high 
school women in the 2K, 3K, and 5K.
  Forbes magazine recently said of her: ``Is this Utah teenager the 
best girls track athlete in history? She certainly looks the part.''
  Jane's post-graduation plans include running for the BYU Cougars 
women's track and field and cross-country teams during the upcoming 
school year.
  I congratulate Jane and wish her good luck and much success. I am 
excited to see what the future will hold for her.
