                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 13, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Ms. Rita Schroeder for being chosen for induction into the 
Southwestern Community College Athletic Hall of Fame as a coach. She 
will be inducted on January 23, 2016 in Creston, Iowa.
  Rita was a 1982 graduate of Southwestern Community College and 
provided leadership to the Spartan volleyball program from 1984-2009. 
Under her guidance, the Spartans had a record of 704-382. They competed 
in national championships five times. Under Rita's leadership, each 
student-athlete was required to put school first, and during her tenure 
her teams received ten NJCAA team academic awards.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate Rita for her well-deserved 
induction into the Southwestern Community College Athletic Hall of 
Fame. It is because of Iowans like Rita that I am proud to represent 
our great state in the United States Congress. I ask that my colleagues 
in the United States House of Representatives join me in congratulating 
Rita for this achievement and in wishing her nothing but continued 
success.
