               RECOGNIZING PARALYMPIC ATHLETE LIZZI SMITH

  (Mr. PENCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. PENCE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an individual 
from Muncie, Indiana, who has made her community and State proud.
  Lizzi Smith, a Paralympic athlete who competed in the 2016 Paralympic 
Games, is now working toward her goal of swimming in the 2020 
Paralympic Games in Tokyo.
  Lizzi has already accomplished so much in her swimming career. She 
helped Muncie Central High School win a sectional in high school. She 
won two world medals at the age of 17, and she came away from the 2016 
Paralympics with two medals. Just this year, Lizzi set the Pan American 
record in the S10 100-meter butterfly.
  I thank Lizzi for inspiring us to dream big and for setting a strong 
example for young Hoosiers and all Americans. I wish her the best of 
luck on the road to Tokyo.
  Bring home the gold.
