                 RECOGNIZING THE LIFE OF IRA DUNSWORTH

  (Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life 
of longtime Central High School teacher, track coach, mentor, and 
pioneer, Ira Dunsworth.
  Ira's accomplishments include 15 State championships, he was named 
Iowa State Coach of the Year four times, and he is a member of the Iowa 
Track Coaches Hall of Fame. Following his retirement from Central, he 
was inducted into the Iowa Track Officials Hall of Fame.
  It is fitting that the track at Davenport's Brady Street Stadium, 
home of the Ira Dunsworth Invitation Meet, be named after him. I can 
think of no better man to receive such an honor to memorialize the 
legacy that Ira Dunsworth left.
  Madam Speaker, I would also like to wish a joyous congratulations to 
Lily Dumas and Alana Kruse on their graduation. Congratulations.
