“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of one of Minnesota's most incredible and most successful sports teams, the four- time Women's National Basketball Association champions, Minnesota Lynx. The Minnesota Lynx started their inaugural season in 1999 with just 12,000 fans in attendance to watch the first regular-season game. This year, as they celebrate their 20th season, the stands are packed. That is because, with four championships in the last 7 years, the Lynx are a dynasty, one that continues to grow. While they have many incredible individual players, the Lynx are a true team on and off the court. The Lynx are active in our local community in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, but they take their commitment to service even beyond our State's lines. This week, I look forward to joining the team at Payne Elementary School at an event with the Samaritan's Feet Shoes of Hope Distribution. I also look forward to many more winning seasons from this group of talented and dedicated athletes. Congratulations to the Lynx on 20 seasons, four championships, and the many more victories that surely lie ahead. You make Minnesota proud. Celebrating 21st Century Bank's 100th Anniversary”
