  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jennifer 
Jorgensen on her exemplary basketball career and congratulate her on 
receiving the honor of being named Iowa's 2008 Miss Basketball.
  Jennifer recently graduated from Southeast Webster-Grand High School 
and will be attending Pacific University to continue her illustrious 
basketball career. Jennifer has been recognized with a variety of 
accomplishments including a three-time first team all-state basketball 
choice as well as the IBCA all-region team.
  Jennifer leaves behind a stellar basketball career, finishing as Iowa 
women's second all-time leading scorer, fourth in rebounds, and fifth 
in assists.
  Jennifer is a shining example of the dedication and determination 
present in today's youth and their promise as tomorrow's leaders. It is 
an honor to represent Jennifer and her family in the United States 
Congress and I know my colleagues join me in wishing her the best of 
luck in her upcoming journey into higher education and collegiate 
athletics.
