  RECOGNITION OF COACH JOHN McDONNELL AND THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS 
                        TRACK AND FIELD PROGRAM

  Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, on behalf of all Arkansans, I want to 
congratulate the University of Arkansas Razorback Track and Field 
program on their 17th NCAA Indoor Track and Field championship this 
past weekend at the Randal Tyson Track Center in Fayetteville, AR. This 
is the program's 37th overall NCAA crown under the direction of Head 
Coach John McDonnell. At the University of Arkansas, Coach McDonnell 
has led his teams to more national championships, triple crowns and 
conference titles than any other coach in history. His most 
extraordinary accomplishment is winning 29 consecutive conference cross 
country championships. He has coached 20 Olympians and over 140 
athletes to All-American status. We celebrate Coach John McDonnell's 
success at the University of Arkansas and his continued dedication to 
the Razorback Track and Field and Cross Country programs.
