                       Tuesday, January 14, 2014

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Nick Goepper of 
Lawrenceburg, Indiana on qualifying to represent the United States in 
the 22nd Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia in the event of Freeski 
Slopestyle.
  Nick has distinguished himself as one of the world's most premier 
athletes in Freeski Slopestyle, placing first in an U.S. Olympic 
selection event in Breckenridge, Colorado and placing second at a 
separate selection event in Copper Mountain, Colorado. Nick's hard work 
and dedication has enabled him to excel

among his competitors, putting him in the most elite category of 
athletes.
  It brings me great pride knowing that such a hard working athlete 
will not only be representing the United States, but also Indiana's 6th 
Congressional District, in one of the most treasured and sacred events 
in all of sports.
  I ask the entire 6th Congressional District to join me in 
congratulating Nick Goepper in his selection to the United States 
Olympic team and wishing him continued success and health in the 22nd 
Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia.
