                      Wednesday, November 1, 2023

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
tenacious and self-motivated leader, Donna Brown-Wynn. Donna Brown-Wynn 
has shown what can be done through hard work, dedication, and a desire 
to achieve.
  Donna Brown-Wynn was a three-sport athlete--basketball, track and 
field and softball--at Vicksburg High. She was the softball team's MVP 
in 1989 and won state championships in track in several events but 
excelled the most in basketball.
  Brown-Wynn played at Mississippi State and was a four-year starter at 
point guard. She set an MSU record for 3-pointers in a game that stood 
for nearly 20 years.
  After her playing career, Brown-Wynn went into coaching. She spent 
two years as an assistant at Mississippi State, then 13 more on the 
staff at Belmont University in Nashville.
  Since 2003, Brown-Wynn has returned to her hometown each summer to 
host the week-long ``Play 2 Wynn'' basketball camp.
  Brown-Wynn was inducted into the 2022 Vicksburg Warren School 
District Athletic Hall of Fame.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Donna 
Brown-Wynn for her passion and dedication to the Vicksburg Warren 
School District and Warren County Community.
