  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Pearland High 
School Coach, Fred Armstrong for his 35-year career of coaching track 
and field.
  Armstrong graduated from Beaumont French High School and Lamar 
University, where he attended school on a track scholarship. His first 
job was at Beaumont Charlton-Pollard High School, he then shifted to 
Clear Lake and Clear Brook High Schools. Eventually working his way to 
Pearland High School, Armstrong coached multiple state champions. Over 
his 35 year career in Track and Field, Armstrong has seen the sport 
evolve firsthand.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations to recognize Fred Armstrong for his 35 years as a track 
and field coach and mentor to our area's young athletes. Thank you for 
coaching some of the state's finest athletes.
