            Recognizing the University of Kentucky Wildcats

  Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, over the weekend, the University of 
Kentucky's women's volleyball team made history. The Wildcats hoisted 
the program's first NCAA volleyball national championship trophy after 
defeating Texas on Saturday night. The falling confetti in Omaha closed 
out an incredible 24-win season. The Wildcats' unmatched athleticism 
and resilience fueled their paths to the title.
  Yesterday afternoon at UK's Memorial Coliseum, enthusiastic fans 
welcomed home their champions, including Madison Lilley, who was named 
the tournament's ``Most Outstanding Player.''
  So I would like to extend the Senate's congratulations to the 
players, Head Coach Craig Skinner, and the entire program. Kentucky and 
all of Big Blue Nation couldn't be prouder.
