                    IN RECOGNITION OF CAMRYN SATTLER

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
Iowa (Mrs. Miller-Meeks) for 5 minutes.
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Camryn 
Sattler, a standout athlete from Clinton High School.
  This weekend, Camryn broke another school record in the 3,000-meter 
run with a time of 10 minutes 20 seconds 34 microseconds, showcasing 
her exceptional talent and dedication.
  Her coach, Tony Steen, praises her relentless work ethic and mental 
toughness, which have propelled her to success. However, Camryn's 
achievements are not hers alone. They reflect the collective effort of 
the entire River Queens team, who secured second place overall at the 
Assumption Invitational.
  From sprinting to field events to relays, the Queens demonstrated 
their strength and versatility, inspiring us all with their potential 
for even greater success.
  Mr. Speaker, let us applaud Camryn, her teammates, and their coaches 
for their outstanding achievements and continue to support and 
celebrate the success of our young athletes.


                   In Recognition of Jaxon Robertson

  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in celebration of Iowa 
City High School student Jaxon Robertson's recent honorable-mention win 
for C-SPAN's 20th annual StudentCam competition.
  Every year, C-SPAN invites middle and high schoolers to think 
critically about issues that affect their communities and the Nation. 
This year's theme was ``Looking Forward while Considering the Past.''
  Robertson's 6-minute documentary, ``Prescribing Change: America's 
Healthcare Crisis,'' skillfully examines the impact of underinsurance 
and lack of health coverage, highlighting healthcare accessibility, 
rural healthcare challenges, prescription costs, and chronic illness 
rates in the United States.
  Robertson's proposed solutions include prioritizing preventative care 
and reforming the fee-for-service model.
  As a doctor, rural healthcare issues are near and dear to my heart, 
which is why I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating this 
incredible achievement and wishing Jaxon Robertson future success as he 
continues to examine complex issues that affect Iowans.


                     National Gold Star Spouses Day

  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Gold Star 
Spouses Day, which was this past Friday, April 5, 2024.
  In 2010, Congress designated April 5 as National Gold Star Spouses 
Day to pay tribute to the surviving husbands and wives of fallen 
servicemembers.
  I recognize the Iowa family of Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Petty 
Officer First Class Joseph Adam McSween, who, along with his teammates, 
gave the ultimate sacrifice during Operation Iraqi Freedom in April of 
2007 when their vehicle was struck by an enemy rocket.
  Erin McSween is Adam's surviving Gold Star spouse and proud mother of 
two girls, Lilly and Gwyneth. Erin is a native of Jasper County, Iowa, 
and Gwyneth is currently a student at the University of Iowa, while 
Lilly attends the University of Western States.
  Erin volunteers with several nonprofits to advocate for Gold Star 
spouses and families. She is delighted to see Lilly and Gwyneth take on 
that advocacy to raise awareness of the unique needs of Gold Star 
children.
  As a 24-year Army veteran, I will always fight for our 
servicemembers, veterans, and their families.
  May God bless the family of Adam McSween. May God bless our 
servicemembers and veterans, and may God bless the United States of 
America.


        Recognizing University of Iowa's Women's Wrestling Team

  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 
University of Iowa women's wrestling team, which finished the season 
strong at the 2024 National Collegiate Women's Wrestling Tournament 
with 6 collegiate champions and 12 All-Americans, as well as the team 
title for the most points.
  Despite only being inaugurated in 2021, Coach Chun and the entire 
athletics department have worked tirelessly to build up this program 
and make it among the most elite women's wrestling teams in the Nation. 
Because of these incredible efforts, six champion Hawkeyes will be 
representing their school at the Olympic trials set to take place at 
Penn State University next week. I also visited with the family of one 
of those wrestling champions, Lilly Luft, yesterday.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues today to join me in celebrating 
these incredible Hawkeyes and wish them well as they work to secure a 
spot at the Olympics this summer. As always and forever, Go Hawkeyes.
