On the recordJuly 14, 2015
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize St. Cloud's own Nick Tylutki for his second-place finish at the International Powerlifting Federation World Championship in Salo, Finland. This past year, after topping 108 competitors, Nick won the national title and a ticket to the world championship in Finland. With eight previous world championships under his belt, Nick finished higher than ever before, coming just shy of completing a 744-pound deadlift for the gold. In addition to his successful powerlifting career, Nick is also a St. Cloud police officer and SWAT team operator. As a child, Nick dreamed of becoming a police officer, and that dream was realized 7 years ago when he joined the St. Cloud police force. I congratulate Nick on his impressive silver medal at the world championship, and I thank him for his service as one of St. Cloud's finest. ____________________
