             IN RECOGNITION OF BRYNN BROWN AND ELI STOWERS

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 30, 2019

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, today I rise to congratulate Guyer High 
School sophomores Brynn Brown and Eli Stowers, who recently won gold 
medals at the 2019 UIL Texas State Track and Field meet.
  The students' victories are well-earned. Following her regional meet, 
Ms. Brown was a self-proclaimed underdog. At the beginning of her mile 
run, Ms. Brown was seeded fourth in a competitive array of runners. 
Despite these circumstances, she finished first with a mile time of 
4.48 minutes. Impressively, Ms. Brown won a second gold medal in the 
3,200-meter run.
  In the high jump competition, Mr. Stowers reached a remarkable 6 feet 
and 10 inches to claim the gold medal. Persevering through inclement 
weather, he rose to the challenge--a testament to his hard work and 
diligent preparation.
  I commend Guyer High School track and field coaches Jonathan 
Ponsonby, Megan Hardesty, and Aaron Roberts for their leadership and 
dedication. It is a privilege to represent Guyer High School in the 
U.S. House of Representatives. I am pleased to recognize the 
achievements of Brynn Brown and Eli Stowers, and I wish them continued 
success in their athletic and academic endeavors.
