  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Deion McShane, 
a junior at Freeport High School, for earning the Class 2A title for 
the Illinois State Championships in the 300 meter hurdles.
  Deion McShane earned a time of 36.53 in the 300 meter hurdles to 
claim for himself the title of state champion, and I would like to 
recognize Deion for his tremendous accomplishment. Deion's dedication 
and passion for his sport meant that he was determined to win gold, 
breaking the all-time state record in the process. As a former athlete, 
I understand the amount of hard work and commitment to be awarded such 
a title. Deion is an example of the importance of perseverance and a 
strong work ethic. I am proud there is such young talent in our 
community, and to see him represent Freeport throughout the state.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate Deion 
McShane on his title, and I join the rest of the community in wishing 
him every success in the future
