MINOR

This is a formatting and layout change between two versions of a ceremonial House concurrent resolution congratulating Ben Ogden on his 2026 Winter Olympics silver medals. The substantive content remains identical; only the document structure, headers, and line breaks were adjusted to match the official House format.

TECHNICAL

Document was reformatted from a working draft layout (with page numbers, line references like R-262, and a compact header) to the official House format with 'State of Vermont,' 'House of Representatives,' and 'Montpelier, Vermont' headers.

A minor typo was introduced in the official version: 'cross-country ski sprint team freestyle competition' became 'cross-county ski sprint team freestyle competition.'
