                       RECOGNIZING AUDREY JIMENEZ

  (Mrs. GRIJALVA asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. GRIJALVA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with great pride to 
recognize Audrey Jimenez, a remarkable young woman wrestler from 
Tucson, Arizona, a graduate from Sunnyside High School in Arizona's 
Seventh Congressional District, and a gold medalist at the Pan American 
Wrestling Championships.
  Audrey represents the very best of our community. She is an 
inspirational young woman who has put in early mornings, long 
practices, and hard-fought matches to become a champion.
  What stands out even more is her heart, her humility, her 
determination, and the way she carries herself as a proud Arizonan.
  Audrey is a shining example of a role model who opens doors and 
inspires other young girls to see themselves in sports where they may 
not have seen themselves before.
  I have had the privilege of seeing how deeply our community rallies 
behind athletes like Audrey, and it is clear she carries that support 
with her every time she competes.
  We are so proud of Audrey and are excited for her continued success 
in the future.
