                               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 Senate--
            (1) congratulates Caitlin Clark on becoming the National 
        Collegiate Athletic Association Division I basketball all-time 
        leading scorer; and
            (2) respectfully requests that the Secretary of the Senate 
        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.
                                 <all>
