                       RECOGNIZING PAIGE BUECKERS

  (Ms. MORRISON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. MORRISON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Paige Bueckers 
for her accomplishments in women's basketball and for leading the 
University of Connecticut women's basketball team to victory in the 
NCAA championship.
  Paige Bueckers graduated from Hopkins High School in 2020. From an 
early age, she was known across Minnesota for her stellar basketball 
skills and her outstanding character.
  Paige's excellence led her to the University of Connecticut where she 
was a dominant force in NCAA Division I basketball. Over her career, 
she amassed many prestigious awards including the ESPY's Best Female 
College Athlete and was selected as a first team All-American three 
times.
  Winning the NCAA championship with UConn is a testament to her 
talent, resilience, and leadership on and off the court. Paige's 
teammates and coaches have praised her for her mentality of putting her 
team first and for her dedication to their sport.
  Paige serves as an inspiration and role model for athletes across the 
country. Along with the entire State of Minnesota, I am incredibly 
proud of her and her accomplishments. We will cheer her on as she 
enters the 2025 WNBA draft, and we can't wait to see what is next for 
the remarkable Paige Bueckers.
