                       HONORING CHANCE KRETSCHMER

  (Mr. GIBBONS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GIBBONS. Mr. Speaker, I come to the well of this great body to 
recognize the achievements of Chance Kretschmer, a freshman running 
back for the University of Nevada, Reno, Wolf Pack football team.
  Chance Kretschmer broke not only every Nevada football rushing record 
for number of yards, number of carries and number of touchdowns, but he 
is also the lead rusher in the NCAA.
  Born and raised in a small rural town, Tonopah, Nevada, the young 
football star joined the Wolf Pack football team as an unknown walk-on 
freshman. Now, not only are the UNR fans and coaches taking notice, but 
all of the college sports community is doing so as well.
  In his last game, Chance ran for an amazing 327 yards on 45 carries 
and scored an amazing six touchdowns leading the UNR to victory. And as 
only a freshman, this Nevada native certainly has an exciting future 
ahead of him. Congratulations, Chance Kretschmer, on your athletic 
accomplishments. You have made all of Nevada proud.
