Mr. LATTA. Mr. Speaker, it is with a great deal of pride that I rise to pay a very special tribute to an outstanding high school track and field relay team in Ohio's Fifth Congressional District. The young women of the Oberlin High School's Girls 4x200 Meter Relay team have represented their school ably on their way to achieving the Division III State Track and Field Title. The team overcame the challenges posed by intense competition in their effort to surpass all other relay teams in their event.

In pursuing the State Championship, Alyssa Webb, Aubrey Abeyta, Jasmine McDearmon, and Olivia Hudson defeated their outstanding competitors to win with an impressive time of 1:24.25. The members of this very special team have shown that their sport requires an individual effort for a team result. Their hard work and dedication, both on and off the track, in achieving this accomplishment should be commended.

Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the Oberlin High School Girls 4x200 Meter Relay team. On behalf of the people of the Fifth District of Ohio, I am proud to recognize this great achievement.
