Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. FLORES. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Michael Schlater of Brownsville, Texas on his amazing accomplishment of running 100,000 miles.

Mr. Schlater is currently the Assistant Track and Cross Country coach at Saint Joseph Academy and has one of the longest consecutive day running streaks in the world. For the past 21 years, Mr. Schlater has run at least three miles every day. On October 21st, he will complete over 100,000 career miles by completing his last two laps at the SJA stadium before the Homecoming football game.

Mr. Schlater has served his community faithfully by being a role model for students in Brownsville. His commitment to his students and to the community is commendable and deserves recognition. It is only fitting that Mr. Schlater celebrates his final run amongst students, friends, and family, as he has devoted part of his career to the Brownsville community.

Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Mr. Schlater for his accomplishment.
