  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today in 
recognizing the achievements of 2-time Olympic medalist and 11-time 
NCAA All-American Rochelle Stevens.
  A native Memphian, Rochelle has racked up accomplishments both on and 
off the track. She is a credit to our community, and her determination 
and commitment to helping others are an inspiration.
  For the past 15 years, The Rochelle Stevens Foundation has hosted an 
invitational track meet in Memphis that has funded scholarships and new 
shoes for athletes across the southeast.
  Rochelle has made a difference. She has inspired our community by her 
example and her spirit, and we know our state is a better place for her 
work.
  On February 24, 2006, Rochelle was elected to the Tennessee Sports 
Hall of Fame in Nashville where she represents Memphis well.
  We wish Rochelle all the best and thank her for giving back so much 
to our community.
