              CELEBRATING HAWKEYE SUPERSTAR CAITLIN CLARK

  (Mr. NUNN of Iowa asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Hawkeye 
superstar and West Des Moines native Caitlin Clark.
  March is upon us, and the madness is real.
  As we look forward to the Big Ten Women's Tournament already 
underway, we have a phenomenon coming from the heart of the heartland, 
Ms. Caitlin Clark.
  After surpassing the all-time scoring record in women's basketball in 
February, Caitlin became the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer 
for both men's and women's basketball.
  In Iowa's win over Ohio State on Sunday, Caitlin reached an 
outstanding record of 3,685 career points, and she is just getting 
started.
  Caitlin is a leader both on and off the court who serves as a role 
model for young women across our State and the country.
  As a dad of five young daughters, our babysitter even helped make 
Caitlin Clark who she is by constantly getting dunked on by Caitlin 
Clark in high school. Ms. Liz Sutton, you, the coaches, the fans, the 
team, and the family are what make Caitlin Clark and Iowa so proud 
today. Thanks for all you are doing.

  Most importantly, as Iowa sets its focus on the Big Ten Tournament in 
March, join me in congratulating Caitlin for what she has done and what 
she will continue to do.
