                      RECOGNIZING AMERICA CAZARES

  (Mrs. GRIJALVA asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. GRIJALVA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize America 
Cazares, an extraordinary young woman from my district and a proud 
fellow warrior from Pueblo High School.
  Over the past 4 years, America has electrified her community with her 
talent, determination, and relentless drive on the basketball court. 
Through countless hours of hard work and unwavering commitment to 
excellence, she has achieved a truly historic milestone.
  America is now the all-time leading scorer in Arizona girl's 
basketball history across all divisions. This remarkable accomplishment 
is a testament to perseverance, discipline, the power of believing in 
yourself, and believing in your abilities.
  America has not only raised the bar for athletes across our State but 
she has also inspired young people in southern Arizona and beyond to 
dream big and work hard. Her success reflects the strength of her 
family, her coaches, her teammates, and the Pueblo community that has 
supported her every step of the way.
  Mr. Speaker, we are incredibly proud of America. ``Felicidades''; 
``congratulations'' on this historic achievement. We look forward to 
all she will accomplish in the years ahead. ``Adelante''; ``forward.''
