  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Amanda Zimmerman on 
her exemplary basketball career and congratulate her on being named 
Iowa's 2009 Miss Basketball.
  Amanda is a senior at Ballard High School and will be attending Iowa 
State University to continue her illustrious basketball career. Amanda 
has been recognized with a variety of accomplishments including being 
named to the Class 3A All-State team four consecutive times, four 
straight state tournament appearances with her Ballard teammates, and 
helped lead her team to become the Iowa High School Class 3A State 
Champions this year.
  Amanda is a shining example of Iowa's talented youth and the rewards 
that come with hard work and determination. It is an honor to represent 
Amanda Zimmerman and her teammates in the United States Congress and I 
know my colleagues join me in wishing her the best in furthering her 
education and athletic career.
