                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOHN KATKO

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 22, 2017

  Mr. KATKO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Alexandria Payne of 
the Jamesville-DeWitt Red Rams for taking home the state pentathlon 
title in the New York State Public High School Association Class A 
Championship on June 10, 2017.
  Payne set a District III record for amassing 3,351 points during the 
two days of competition. She is coached by Jim Lawton.
  I am honored to recognize the hard work displayed by Alexandria Payne 
and the rest of the team, their families, the coaching staff, and 
teachers at Jamesville-DeWitt High School. This is a historic win for 
Central New York and I am confident that the positive experiences from 
the 2017 season will yield continued success in both athletics and 
academics.
