     IN HONOR OF LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL BOYS' 1600 METER RELAY TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. PATRICK J. TIBERI

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 22, 2017

  Mr. TIBERI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Lexington High 
School boys track team for winning the 1600 meter event at the Ohio 
High School Division II State Track and Field Tournament.
  An achievement such as this certainly deserves recognition. The Ohio 
High School Athletic Association has enabled talented teams and 
individuals to earn state titles since its founding in 1907. Throughout 
this time, the champions of OHSAA state level competitions have 
represented the highest achieving and most talented athletes in Ohio. 
Each year these elite competitors join the long ranks of those who 
embody Ohio's proud history of athletic success.
  The Lexington High School boys 1600 meter relay team's victory caps a 
tremendous season. This sort of achievement is earned only through many 
hours of practice, perspiration and hard work. They have set a new 
standard for future athletes to reach. Everyone at Lexington High 
School can be extremely proud of their performance.
  On behalf of the citizens of Ohio's 12th Congressional District, I 
congratulate Hunter Biddle, Tony Gerrell, Forest Volz and Mason Kearns 
on their state championship. I wish them continued success in both 
their athletic and academic endeavors.
