                        TRIBUTE TO TRISTA HOVDE

<bullet> Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Trista Hovde of Richland County for her outstanding 
achievement in earning a position on the North Dakota State/Provincial 
National High School rodeo team.
  Trista, a junior at Sidney High School, traveled with her fellow 
teammates to Guthrie, OK, to compete in the 72nd National High School 
Finals Rodeo. She partook in the barrel racing, girls' cutting, and 
reined cow horse competitions.
  The NHSFR boasts the title of the largest rodeo in the world, 
featuring over 1,650 contestants from 43 States as well as Canada, 
Australia, and Mexico. Participating in the NHSFR is a tremendous honor 
and I know that she has made both her community and Montana very proud.
  It is my distinct honor to recognize Trista for her tireless 
dedication to the rodeo community and her unique contributions to 
Sidney and Montana. Her drive and ambition serve as an inspiration to 
all young Montanans to strive to do the best that they can in 
everything they do. I look forward to following Trista's rodeo career 
and all of her future accomplishment.<bullet>
