Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Kenny Bednarek of Rice Lake, Wisconsin, on qualifying for the Paris Summer Olympics in the 100- and 200-meter sprints. Kenny is from a small town in northwest Wisconsin where he has been representing the Seventh District since he was in high school. At Rice Lake High School, he captured seven individual State titles and led his team to the 4-by-400 relay championship. He then went on to set the fastest indoor 200-meter time in the United States and the second fastest in the world before becoming an Olympian in 2020. During the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, he won a silver medal in the 200-meter dash. I wish Kung Fu Kenny and all of the U.S. athletes the best of luck in Paris. Go for the gold. ____________________
