Mr. CROW. Madam Speaker, I am honored today to recognize Jordyn Poulter for winning a gold medal as a member of the U.S. Women's Volleyball team.

Jordyn began her volleyball career at Eaglecrest High School in Centennial, Colorado. Equipped with an endless passion and incredible work-ethic, Jordyn led the Raptors to four consecutive top-eight state finishes, including a third place finish in 2013.

After a successful career at the University of Illinois and as a member of the gold-medal U20 Women's Junior National Team--Jordyn was chosen to represent the United States at the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo where she once again brought home the gold.

Jordyn's hard work and dedication undoubtedly led to her success on the court and will serve as an inspiration to young folks across the district. I want to congratulate Jordyn on her much-deserved success and thank her for being Colorado 6th's very own Olympian.
