                            HON. BILLY LONG

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 8, 2014

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Glendale High School 
senior Spencer Haik for being the first Class 4 athlete to win the 
1,600-meter run state title three years in a row.
  Spencer led the race from start to finish and finished a full two 
seconds ahead of the competition. Spencer finished with a personal best 
time of 4 minutes, 9.41 seconds. He also won the 3,200-meter state 
championship.
  Furthermore, I want to congratulate Spencer on his win at the Nike 
Festival of Miles in St. Louis on June 5. His time was 4:04.55, which 
is to date the second fastest 1600-meter in the Nation this year.
  I would also like to take this opportunity to say thank you to 
Spencer's coaches, Ron Hamilton and Jeff Berryessa, for their 
dedication and leadership.
  I wish Spencer the best as he continues his track career at Columbia 
University.
  I am honored to recognize Spencer Haik for his Class 4 State 
Championship in both the 1,600 and 3,200-meter runs.
