Ironman training while he was living in Hawaii, where the Ironman

Ironman athletes in the world; and
WHEREAS, He has qualified for and scheduled to compete in
the 2017 Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, on

been able to train for this prestigious event in his hometown
of Laredo, where he also serves as a coach and mentor to other
athletes; and
WHEREAS, Victor Treviño Jr. has been an exemplary ambassador
for his community and his state, and he is truly deserving of
