“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the strength and endurance of St. Cloud native Laura Knoblach, who just, last month, became the youngest woman to finish a double triathlon. Laura finished the Double ANVIL Ultra Triathlon, a rigorous event that consisted of swimming 4.8 miles, biking 224 miles, and running two consecutive marathons. She finished all of this in less than 36 hours. Not only did Laura complete an arduous triathlon, but she did so for a good cause. She created a GoFundMe page titled ``A Tri to End Trafficking,'' which raised money to help educate South African girls and prevent them from becoming victims of sex trafficking. Laura Knoblach is currently a junior at the University of Boulder in Colorado, where she studies secondary education and majors in English and Spanish. She hopes to one day teach English as a second language. I have no doubt that Laura will accomplish all of her goals and more, as she is the perfect example that anything is possible if you work hard enough. A Coach Remembered”
