                       HONORING COACH MANUEL DIAZ

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. 
Manny Diaz for an outstanding career during his last 36 years as the 
University of Georgia's men's tennis coach.
  Diaz is the SEC's all-time winningest coach, with an overall record 
of 767-192. He has guided the Bulldogs to achieve many great milestone 
awards. Throughout his career, Coach Diaz has led the Bulldogs to win 
29 SEC championships, 4 NCAA national titles, and 2 ITA indoor national 
championship wins.
  In 2023, Diaz' team was awarded another conference championship title 
and showcased their talent in the 2023 NCAA tournament.
  For his accomplishments, Diaz has been recognized as SEC Coach of the 
Year seven times throughout his career, and 39 of his players have 
received a combined 77 All-American honors.
  As he enters retirement, I thank Diaz for his hard work and 
dedication to University of Georgia athletics. Through his guidance and 
supervision, his athletes have excelled as some of the Nation's 
greatest.
