On the recordFebruary 28, 2002
hats are off to all the kids who qualify for their State high school wrestling tournaments across the country. We ex-high school and college wrestlers now in Congress know the hard work those accomplishments take. However, I want to especially recognize two individuals. Wade Satern, of Humboldt, Iowa, won the 119-pound class 2-A championship, and Andrew ``Andy'' Rousch of Wilton, Iowa, placed third at 103 pounds in class 1-A. Each of these young men wrestled with only one leg. Satern lost his leg as an infant; and he has said, ``I earned it just like any other kid earns a State championship: I worked my tail off. I personally do not feel like I am handicapped.'' The Speaker of the House, an ex-wrestling coach himself, joins me in saying to these young men, congratulations for a job well done.
