Floor Speech

Mrs. SYKES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Caden McClure as Ohio's 13th Congressional District Champion of the Week.

Caden is a senior at Green High School, and he became the 2024 Division 1 boys pole vaulting State champion at the State championship meet in Dayton this past weekend.

Several pole vaulters at the meet attempted to jump 16 feet, but after three attempts, Caden was the only one to successfully clear this incredible jump to secure the State title.

The win capped off a very successful season for senior Caden McClure as he is the fourth pole vaulter from Green High School to win the State title.

He also continued his family's history of dominance in this event by winning this year's State title because he followed his brother, Connor, who set the Division I State pole vault record of 17 feet 3 inches back in 2001.

Mr. Speaker, I congratulate, once again, Caden McClure for this very impressive victory. He has made his school, his family, and his community very proud, and I can't wait to see what he does next. He is the reason why Ohio's 13th Congressional District is the birthplace of champions.
