Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Veronica Sierzant for winning the Lawton M. Calhoun award from the Greater Savannah Athletics Hall of Fame.

The Calhoun award is presented annually to the most outstanding athlete across all sports in Chatham County. Veronica is a senior at Islands High School and has committed to playing volleyball next year at Syracuse University where both her parents competed in athletics.

She was selected as the Savannah Morning News Player of the Year her junior year and has been the first three-time champion of the Hollis Stacy award, which is given to the most outstanding female athlete in Savannah.

During her senior season, she was voted team captain and led the Raiders to a Region 3-4A title.

Off the court, Veronica is a member of the National Honor Society, the Spanish National Honor Society, and the Future Farmers of America.

Madam Speaker, I wish her the best of luck and know she will represent the First District well at Syracuse University this fall.
