HOMETOWN HERO--ASHLEY CAIN-GRIBBLE
______
HON. BETH VAN DUYNE
of texas
in the house of representatives
Friday, September 30, 2022
Ms. VAN DUYNE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor our Texas 24 Hometown Hero of the week, Ashley Cain-Gribble, a Carrollton native who represented the United States at this year's Olympics.
Ashley lived out her lifelong dream last month as she took to the ice in the Olympics. Along with her partner, Timothy Leduc--who also calls the DFW area home--they finished in the top 8, the first time an American pair has done so since 1998.
Ashley's heroics on the world stage have inspired us all back home. But her years of training and hard work should serve as a reminder to every American that success is impossible without sacrifice.
Fulfilling her dream did not happen overnight. Since the age of 2, Ashley has been on the ice with one goal in mind: to compete on the world's biggest stage. In the years leading up to the Olympics, Ashley and Timothy trained with her father in Euless, TX--putting in blood, sweat, and tears to accomplish her goal.
Ashley returns to TX-24 a hero. Americans like her are an inspiration not only to the young girls who look up to her, but to the entire country.
I thank Ashley for her hard work and dedication. May they inspire the rest of the country to fulfill their dreams.
