On the recordApril 11, 2018
I rise this evening to honor Coach Lance Wigfall of East Orange, New Jersey, for becoming the 2017-2018 boys indoor track and field coach of the year. Coach Wigfall was a star track athlete at East Orange during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Now, as coach, he is helping a new generation of young men grow as athletes and leaders. During Coach Wigfall's tenure at East Orange, the school's track and field team has broken onto the national stage. But Coach Wigfall reminds his athletes to enjoy the moment, trust the process, and always put academics before athletics. Coach Wigfall is a mentor and a role model for his team. He is an asset to East Orange and to all young people in New Jersey's 10th Congressional District. I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Coach Wigfall for becoming coach of the year. ____________________
