                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 13, 2000

  Mr. BOEHNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Dr. Kent 
Vosler. On September 16, 2000 Dr. Vosler will be admitted into the Ohio 
State University Athletic Hall of Fame. In addition to his contribution 
to the Buckeye Diving team, Kent was also on the 1976 Montreal Olympic 
team.
  Kent is one of a long list of great Ohio State divers. His 
accomplishments at Ohio State were many. He was a four time NCAA All-
American and a four time Ohio State Scholar Athlete. While a senior in 
high school he won gold medals in 1 meter diving and in 10 meter 
platform diving at the national age group championships, and was 
coached at various times by Ohio State Hall of Famers Ron O'Brien, 
Vince Panzano and Hobie Billingsley. He later won four National AAU 
diving championships, was a member of the 1975 Pan American Games 
American team, and the 1976 Olympic team.
  Kent was born December 6, 1955 in Dayton, Ohio but he now considers 
Eaton, Ohio, in the heart of Ohio's 8th Congressional District his 
home. He is the only Olympian to ever hail from Preble County, Ohio. 
All of Ohio is proud of Kent and I congratulate him on his many 
accomplishments.
