                       Wednesday, March 18, 2026

  Mr. GUEST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate some of the 
accomplishments of one of the most successful Mississippi student 
athletes of our time, Mr. Jordan Anthony of Tylertown, Mississippi. 
Jordan Anthony is a 2022 graduate of Tylertown High School. His 
collegiate accolades reached great heights while running at the 
University of Arkansas, where he was recognized as the top student 
athlete in American collegiate track and field and won the 2025 
Bowerman Award, the highest national award for Track and Field. Some of 
Jordan's other accomplishments include: 2021 Outdoor Nike 100m National 
Champion; 2021 Adidas Boston Boost High School Games 100m National 
Champion; 2022 Indoor Nike National 60m and 200m Champion; 2022 Outdoor 
USA Track and Field under 20 200m Champion; and 2021 to 2022 Gatorade 
Mississippi Player of the Year. Jordan also holds collegiate records 
for the 60m (6.47s) and 100 (9.75s) dashes, making him the 9th fastest 
runner in the world.
  After winning the 2025 national championship, Jordan announced that 
he was officially turning pro in track and field. He is considered a 
top contender for Team USA in the future Olympic games.
  Jordan Anthony has exemplified the highest standards of excellence 
and earned the respect and admiration of his peers, colleagues, and the 
broader community. He has brought honor and distinction to Tylertown, 
Walthall County, and the entire State of Mississippi. I am honored to 
recognize his accomplishments and wish him the best in his future 
endeavors.
