CONGRATULATING WINNERS OF GLASS CITY MARATHON

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 80 (Tuesday, May 12, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 80 (Tuesday, May 12, 2026)] [House] [Pages H3378-H3379] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CONGRATULATING WINNERS OF GLASS CITY MARATHON (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the thousands of runners who took to the streets of Toledo this spring for the Glass City Marathon. Seasoned competitors and first-time participants alike demonstrated grit, discipline, and indeed courage to complete all 26.2 miles. Today, we especially celebrate 25-year-old Ohio native Vincent ``Vinny'' Mauri. His extraordinary performance quite literally redefines what is possible. In his very first marathon, he shattered the course record with his breathtaking time of 2:05:54. This earned him the title of fourth fastest American marathoner ever. We also honor Andie Cozzarelli, who posted the top female time of 2:36:57. Vinny's and Andie's times qualify them for the U.S. Olympic trials and a [[Page H3379]] chance to compete in Los Angeles in 2028. Congratulations also to Kevin Kirk, Matt Carter, Ashton Swinford, and Andrea Klima who took home second-and third-place medals. Every runner, volunteer, and supporter shows the very best of America. We are so proud of them. Bravo. ____________________
