  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Ericka Abell for being awarded the Hawkeye 10 All-
Conference Character Award.
  Ericka was selected for this honor because of the exceptional 
character she displayed throughout her years at Creston High School. 
This award is only given to students who demonstrate good character in 
Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, 
Citizenship, Overcoming Obstacles, Making Difficult Choices, 
Generosity, Self-Sacrifice, and Community Service. She is the daughter 
of Scott and Mendy Abell of Cromwell, Iowa.
  It is with great pride that I represent outstanding Iowans like 
Ericka in the U.S. House of Representatives. I know that all of my 
colleagues in the House join me in congratulating her on being 
recognized with this award. I wish her and her family nothing but the 
best moving forward.
