     RECOGNIZING WOMEN ATHLETES AT NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY

  (Ms. ROSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROSS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the extraordinary 
achievements of the women athletes at North Carolina State University.
  In addition to the women's basketball team winning their third 
straight ACC championship, the women's cross-country team won their 
first NCAA championship. And we also have the accomplishments of many 
more.
  Last spring, seniors on the women's tennis team won the NCAA doubles 
championship.
  Katharine Berkoff also claimed the 100-yard backstroke national title 
for the second year in a row, while Katelyn Tuohy stormed to victory on 
the track in the 5,000 meters.
  Last month, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of Title IX, the 
foundation of gender equity at educational institutions. This milestone 
serves as an important reminder that too often women athletes don't get 
the recognition they deserve.
  Congratulations to the Wolfpack women on these amazing 
accomplishments.
