Friday, August 12, 2022
Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Candice Diduch for winning a national wrestling title.
Candice Diduch was one of 15 qualifiers from Illinois with the opportunity to compete at the national tournament to become a national champion in girls wrestling. Candice went 10-1 at a 10-day national tournament in Fargo, North Dakota, making her one of the top female wrestlers in the nation. With her exceptional athleticism, Candice Diduch is one of three girls' IHSA state champions from the Freeport area that qualified for nationals, along with 11 boys from the region. Candice is known for being competitive and has made a name for herself in two sports. She started on Freeport's girls' soccer team in her first year, helping the Pretzels win NIC-10 and Regional Championships. Now she is the 16U U.S. Nationals women's freestyle champion. As a former athlete, I applaud Candice for her accomplishments and skills in athletics. I commend her talent and dedication to her sport and I am proud to see her achieve such an esteemed title.
Madam Speaker, I am proud to congratulate Candice Diduch for winning a national title for women's wrestling. I am proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District and incredibly pleased to recognize the hard work of hard-working athletes like Candice.
