RESOLUTION
Congratulating Iowa native Caitlin Clark on becoming the National
Collegiate Athletic Association Division I basketball leading scorer.
Whereas, on March 3, 2024, during a basketball game between the University of
Iowa Hawkeyes and the Ohio State University Buckeyes, Caitlin Clark
(referred to in this preamble as ``Clark'') became the National
Collegiate Athletic Association (referred to in this preamble as the
``NCAA'') Division I basketball all-time leading scorer;
Whereas, because of Clark and the University of Iowa Hawkeyes women's basketball
team (referred to in this preamble as the ``Hawkeyes''), women's sports
are being covered and talked about at the national level in the United
States with the same fervor as men's sports;
Whereas the Hawkeyes have sold out games at home in Carver Hawkeye Arena and on
the road in arenas across the United States;
Whereas every sold-out game is full of young girls watching Clark and the
Hawkeyes demonstrate the excitement, competition, and fun that is
possible because of women's sports;
Whereas women's sports serve as an important way for young girls to develop
discipline, teamwork, confidence, and leadership skills, and the
achievements of female athletes should be celebrated;
Whereas Clark serves as a role model, demonstrating that dreams are achievable
with hard work and dedication; and
Whereas Iowans are proud of Clark and thankful for the opportunity to watch
Clark, one of the greatest athletes to ever play college basketball,
compete for the Hawkeyes: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) congratulates Caitlin Clark on becoming the National
Collegiate Athletic Association Division I basketball all-time
leading scorer; and
(2) respectfully requests that the Clerk of the House of
Representatives transmit an enrolled copy of this resolution
to--
(A) Caitlin Clark;
(B) the athletic director at the University of
Iowa, Beth Goetz; and
(C) the head coach of the University of Iowa
Hawkeyes women's basketball team, Lisa Bluder.
