Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. GRIJALVA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize America Cazares, an extraordinary young woman from my district and a proud fellow warrior from Pueblo High School.

Over the past 4 years, America has electrified her community with her talent, determination, and relentless drive on the basketball court. Through countless hours of hard work and unwavering commitment to excellence, she has achieved a truly historic milestone.

America is now the all-time leading scorer in Arizona girl's basketball history across all divisions. This remarkable accomplishment is a testament to perseverance, discipline, the power of believing in yourself, and believing in your abilities.

America has not only raised the bar for athletes across our State but she has also inspired young people in southern Arizona and beyond to dream big and work hard. Her success reflects the strength of her family, her coaches, her teammates, and the Pueblo community that has supported her every step of the way.

Mr. Speaker, we are incredibly proud of America. ``Felicidades''; ``congratulations'' on this historic achievement. We look forward to all she will accomplish in the years ahead. ``Adelante''; ``forward.''
