Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 63 (Tuesday, April 8, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 63 (Tuesday, April 8, 2025)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E297] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING EMERY THOMPSON ON HER 4 YEARS OF VARSITY GIRLS SOCCER AT ALEDO HIGH SCHOOL ______ HON. CRAIG A. GOLDMAN of texas in the house of representatives Tuesday, April 8, 2025 Mr. GOLDMAN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Emery Thompson as she concludes her final year with the Aledo Girls Soccer Team. Emery has been a four-year defensive starter for the Ladycats and served as team captain in her senior year. As a four-year letterman, she was named District Defensive Most Valuable Player as a sophomore and earned First-Team All-District honors as a senior. This season, the Aledo Ladycats capped off their impressive 15-4 record as District Champions. Emery exemplifies the true meaning of a student-athlete. While excelling on the soccer field, she has also achieved remarkable academic success. She remains at the top of her class with an astonishing 4.72 grade point average. Additionally, she was named Female Student of the Year as a freshman, serves as president of Leading Ladies at Aledo High School, and holds the position of secretary in the National Honor Society. Her dedication to both academics and athletics sets the standard for student-athletes everywhere. On behalf of the 12th Congressional District of Texas, I am proud to recognize Emery Thompson for her outstanding achievements over the past four years. Competing at the varsity level as a freshman while excelling academically is truly extraordinary. Having played soccer since the age of three, Emery's passion and commitment have been evident throughout her journey. I wish her the best of luck in her collegiate pursuits. I am confident she will excel at all that is put before her. ____________________
