Mr. DesJARLAIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Eddie Hart for his induction into the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame.

A Californian from birth, Eddie won State and NCAA titles during his collegiate track and field career where he became known as one of the top sprinters in the Nation.

Eddie's performance in the 1972 Munich Olympic Games earned him the title the ``World's Fastest Human'' and a gold medal for him and the United States of America.

Today, Eddie serves disadvantaged youth in our community through his Eddie Hart All In One Foundation.

Eddie's commitment to service and his athletic excellence has touched countless lives for generations.

Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing Eddie Hart, gold medalist, for his induction into the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame. Eddie Hart was once the world's fastest human. He is still one of the world's best humans.
