                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. PETE OLSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 8, 2014

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Stephen F. 
Austin High School incoming freshman, Kayla McDonald for earning a 
bronze medal in the 400-meter relay at the 37th Hershey's Track & Field 
Games North American Final in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Kayla was part of 
a quartet that sprinted to a time of 51.77 seconds, just 1.22 seconds 
from the gold medal finishers.
  With this achievement, Kayla has established herself as a top young 
track athlete in Texas. For two consecutive years she has won the 400-
meter dash at the Fort Bend ISD district championships. She was also an 
honor roll student and a member of Peer Assistance Leadership at Garcia 
Middle School. I'm confident Kayla will continue to excel in high 
school, both in the class room and on the track.
  We are proud of Kayla for this outstanding accomplishment and I wish 
Kayla the best of luck in the coming school year. On behalf of the 
residents of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, I again 
congratulate Kayla McDonald for her victory at the Hershey's Track & 
Field Games North American Final.
