Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ben Kueter of Iowa City who took down Hempstead's Joe Lewis in a technical fall to win his fourth State title in wrestling--only the 32nd time in the history of the Iowa State wrestling tournament. He is also the seventh to complete an undefeated high school career, with an outstanding record of 111-0 with 105 career bonus point wins. In addition to winning his fourth State title and shattering records in Iowa, Ben also holds a world title in wrestling. Just this summer, he represented Iowa on the world stage and won gold at the Junior Men's Freestyle World Championship. An all-star athlete and senior at Iowa City High School, Ben excels in more than just wrestling. He has also been a star member of the football, baseball, and track teams. Ben's proudest accomplishment, though, is being a good role model for future wrestlers. He always makes time to talk to and take pictures with younger wrestlers at tournaments and makes it a priority to keep things fun. I am proud of Ben's accomplishments, and I join all of Iowa in being proud that he continues to represent our State at the highest levels. I am also honored that he has chosen to continue his wrestling career in Iowa City at the University of Iowa. Go Hawkeyes! Texas Christian University Day”
