Caitlin Clark, the standout player for the Iowa Hawkeyes, clinched the 2024 Wooden Award on Tuesday, securing her place as the top player in women's college basketball for the second year running.
This season, Clark beat out tough competition from UConn's Paige Bueckers, Stanford's Cameron Brink, USC's JuJu Watkins, and Notre Dame's Hannah Hidalgo, all of whom were finalists for the award. Making history is nothing new for Clark, who now holds the record for the most points scored in Division I, with a remarkable 3,951 points to her name. Notably, she is the only Division I women's player to achieve both 3,000 points and 1,000 assists in her career, boasting a total of 1,144 assists. Additionally, she's secured 990 rebounds.
Setting new standards, Clark's 28.42 points per game and 548 3-pointers are unmatched in Division I history. This season alone, she sank 201 3-pointers and scored 1,234 points, both setting single-season records.
With her exceptional skills and achievements, Clark is widely expected to be the top pick in the upcoming WNBA draft, where the Indiana Fever have the first pick. The excitement around her future is palpable as fans eagerly await her professional debut.
