  Mr. MICHAUD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the honorees of 
the Maine Sports Hall of Fame's Annual Induction Banquet and Scholar-
Athlete Awards Ceremony.
  This Sunday, the Maine Sports Hall of Fame will honor Maine athletes 
and sports figures who have exemplified a tireless commitment to their 
sport and to their community. Recognition awards and scholarships also 
will be presented to five of Maine's outstanding high school scholar-
athletes. Each of the honorees have distinguished themselves on and off 
the field and are most deserving of this recognition.
  This year's inductees to the Maine Sports Hall of Fame are: Julia 
Faith Dawson Clukey, Augusta; Jack W. Cosgrove, Bangor; Joseph L. 
Ferris, Brewer; Edward J. Flaherty, Portland; William (Bill) Green, 
Cumberland; Eleanor D. Logan, Boothbay Harbor; George J. Mitchell, New 
York City; Steven M. Pound, Greenville; and Abigail L. (Abby) Spector, 
Waterville.
  This year's scholar-athlete honorees are: Carsyn Koch, Washburn 
District High School; Ian Lee, Madawaska High School; Alexandra Logan, 
Cheverus High School, Portland; Mikayla Turner, Messalonskee High 
School, Oakland; and Rayne Whitten, Massabesic High School, Waterboro.
  The President's Award is presented to ``an individual who has 
bettered sports and athletics and has become a leader at state and 
national levels.'' This year's recipient is William E. Haggett of West 
Bath.
  Each of these honorees is among the best that Maine has to offer. 
Through their leadership and their incredible commitment to their 
sport, to their communities, and to our state, Maine is a better place 
in which to live.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me again in congratulating each of the award 
recipients on their outstanding achievements and service.
