Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to congratulate Adam Kingston of Manheim Township on winning a gold medal in the Class 3A 3,200-meter run at the PIAA track and field championship on May 24.

The 2025 PIAA Class 3A track and field championship saw students from across Pennsylvania's 11th Congressional District excel, but it was Manheim Township senior Adam Kingston who took home the gold. Kingston maintained the lead for the entire 3,200-meter race and crossed the finish line with a time of 8:51:25, a Lancaster-Lebanon League record.

Kingston's state title finishes a storied career at Manheim Township. He was also a part of Manheim Township's 4x800 relay team, alongside Andrew Kemper, Ethan Peffley, and Cole Stevens, which won fourth place later that day.

With his gold medal in the Class 3A 3,200-meter run, Kingston solidified himself as one of Pennsylvania's best track and field athletes. I sincerely congratulate Adam on his success this year and wish him well in his athletic and academic endeavors at Penn State University.
