I am proud to recognize the remarkable accomplishments of six athletes from Illinois' 14th Congressional District who will represent the United States at the 2012 Olympics in London. Twin brothers Grant and Ross James from DeKalb will both compete as part of the men's eight rowing team. Track and field athlete Evan Jager of Algonquin will compete in the steeplechase. Anna Li of Aurora will travel to London as an alternate member of the women's gymnastics team. Charlie Jayne of Elgin will serve as alternate for the equestrian team. Finally, the men's volleyball team will include Sean Rooney, a graduate of Wheaton-Warrenville South High School. Each of these men and women are making us so proud as they represent Illinois and the United States this summer. The House of Representatives wishes them the best of luck. ____________________
