Recognizing Lilyana Balderas

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize one of my constituents, Lilyana Balderas, who is an Anaheim High School freshman and a 15-year-old athlete who is rapidly rising through the Nation's ranks as one of the best wrestlers in the country.

Lilyana just finished her freshman year at Anaheim High School with 33 wins, crowned the 121-pound CIF Champion and CIF State runner-up champ. She is ranked 10th nationally as the best wrestler in the United States.

She is a top-notch student with a 3.9 GPA.

What is her goal?

Lilyana simply wants to win an Olympic Gold Medal for the United States.

I know Lilyana has got this.

Go Colonists.

We will be watching her career.
