  Ms. PINGREE of Maine. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to highlight the 
outstanding accomplishments of a young woman from Maine's First 
District.
  Eleanor Logan has been rowing since 2003. She has shown true 
dedication to the sport in her training and competition, and has won 
numerous awards for her rowing, both nationally and internationally. 
After winning gold in the 8-person shell at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, 
she set her sights on completing her undergraduate degree from Stanford 
University while also training for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team. And now, 
within weeks, she will be representing our nation in the London 
Olympics.
  I'm very proud to highlight Eleanor's success. She is a shining 
example of what can be accomplished with opportunity and commitment. 
Successfully balancing education and training, she has worked 
tremendously hard to achieve her Olympic dreams.
  As Eleanor continues on her journey as an athlete and a leader, she 
is enabling Maine to shine on the international stage, as well.
  Go Team USA!
