        CONGRATULATING COACH WENDEE SAINTSING ON HER RETIREMENT

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, after 35 remarkable years 
as Barton College head women's basketball coach, Wendee Saintsing has 
entered a well-deserved retirement.
  Coach Saintsing has taken 10 teams to the NCAA Division II tournament 
and led Barton to seven Conference Carolinas regular season 
championships and three Conference Carolinas Tournament titles.
  Under her leadership, 27 of her 33 Bulldogs teams have had winning 
records. She also coached seven All-Americans, and a Bulldogs student 
athlete was named the Conference Carolinas Women's Basketball Player of 
the Year 12 times.
  Saintsing was named the Conference Carolinas Coach of the Year an 
impressive four times and received the Milestone award at the 
Conference Carolinas inaugural Legends of the Game banquet.
  Mr. Speaker, Coach Saintsing's outstanding record, which is big, 
speaks for itself. She has made an invaluable impact at Barton and on 
eastern North Carolina. I congratulate her on her retirement.
