                         HON. PATRICK J. TIBERI

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 22, 2017

  Mr. TIBERI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Joe Ellis for 
winning the high jump event in the Ohio High School Division I 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.
  Joe Ellis' victory caps a tremendous season. This sort of achievement 
is earned only through many hours of practice, perspiration and hard 
work. You have set a new standard for future athletes to reach. 
Everyone at Mansfield Senior High School can be extremely proud of your 
performance.
  On behalf of the citizens of Ohio's 12th Congressional District, I 
congratulate Joe Ellis on his state championship. I wish him continued 
success in both his athletic and academic endeavors.

                          ____________________
