             CONGRATULATING WINNERS OF GLASS CITY MARATHON

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the thousands of 
runners who took to the streets of Toledo this spring for the Glass 
City Marathon.
  Seasoned competitors and first-time participants alike demonstrated 
grit, discipline, and indeed courage to complete all 26.2 miles.
  Today, we especially celebrate 25-year-old Ohio native Vincent 
``Vinny'' Mauri. His extraordinary performance quite literally 
redefines what is possible. In his very first marathon, he shattered 
the course record with his breathtaking time of 2:05:54. This earned 
him the title of fourth fastest American marathoner ever.
  We also honor Andie Cozzarelli, who posted the top female time of 
2:36:57.
  Vinny's and Andie's times qualify them for the U.S. Olympic trials 
and a

  Congratulations also to Kevin Kirk, Matt Carter, Ashton Swinford, and 
Andrea Klima who took home second-and third-place medals.
  Every runner, volunteer, and supporter shows the very best of 
America. We are so proud of them. Bravo.
