   TRIBUTE TO ALL-TIME SCORING LEADER FOR MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY 
                    WOMEN'S BASKETBALL TORI JANKOSKA

                                 ______

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 31, 2017

  Mr. MOOLENAAR. Mr. Speaker, today, I, along with Representative 
Bishop pay tribute to Tori Jankoska, the all-time scoring leader for 
Michigan State University Women's Basketball.
  Tori was born and raised in Freeland, where she grew up with a 
passion for competition. As a young girl, Tori was unable to compete 
with her peers. She grew up with asthma and other illnesses that kept 
her from playing with the other kids. Through her own perseverance, she 
was able to play with her siblings and her passion for sports started 
to grow. As a student at Freeland High School, Tori raised the bar for 
her own team and her competitors. It wasn't long before her talent was 
noticed by the coaches at MSU.
  When starting her basketball career at MSU, Tori knew that was where 
she wanted to be. She also knew that she had a chance to do something 
great. Regarded by her coaches as having the highest basketball IQ on 
the court, Tori has proven her acumen time and again. Now, as the all-
time point leader for MSU, she has written her own legacy into the 
record book as one of the best college women's basketball players of 
all time.
  Tori has overcome obstacles and excelled at the highest level of 
competition. On behalf of the Fourth & Eighth Congressional Districts 
of Michigan, we are honored today to recognize Tori Jankoska for her 
lifetime of work on and off the court and wish her all the best in her 
future endeavors.
