minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BLUNT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to talk about a totally 
different kind of situation at school than the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. 
Traficant) mentioned. I rise to pay tribute to a young lady who has 
brought praise and honor on the sport of basketball and to Southwest 
Missouri State University by becoming the Nation's all-time leading 
scorer in women's NCAA Division I basketball.
  Jackie Stiles has been among the leading scorers in women's college 
basketball for 4 years. She scored 20 or more points in college games 
86 times; 30-plus points 35 times; 40-plus points 10 times, and in 2 
games she broke the 50-point mark. She is one of only two players in 
NCAA women's basketball history to break the 50-point mark twice. She 
broke the 12-year-old NCAA Division I scoring mark of 3,103 points in a 
game last week with Creighton University.
  Jackie Stiles grew up playing basketball in Claflin, Kansas, where 
she was highly recruited by colleges and universities nationwide. She 
has also been on the all-American academic team every year of her 
college career. She is a great role model for students and young 
athletes and young women.
  Madam Speaker, I wish her and her team well as they go on to finish 
this season and to add new points to that overall record.
