                      Thursday, September 9, 2004

  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and celebrate 
Jeremy Wariner, of Grand Prairie, Texas, in his success in these past 
Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. Jeremy won the Gold in the Men's 400 
meter run with a time of 44.00, the fastest time in the world this 
year. He also captured a gold medal in the 4x400 relay competition. At 
the 2004 NCAA Indoor Championships, Wariner, a junior at Baylor 
University, won the 400m with a time of 45.39 seconds and won an NCAA 
title with the 4x400m relay team. His remarkable performance brought 
tremendous accolade to America, and we thank him.
  Jeremy exemplifies the spirit of an Olympic champion, and I am so 
proud to recognize him here today, as a Texan, an American and a gold 
medal champion.
