The last NCAA Championship game ended and in the final of the women’s division Iowa and South Carolina played a fierce match.

Although Caitlin Clark didn’t win during her time in Iowa she did collect two major college basketball awards which consist of, the Naismith National Player of the Year and Wooden Award, for the second consecutive season.

Clark states, “When you’re given the opportunity, women’s sport thrives and that’s been the coolest part for me on this journey…We started the season playing in front of 55,000 people, now we’re ending it in front of 15 million people on TV. It just continues to get better and better and that’s never going to stop”.

At Liberty High School many students are on her side and have followed her career and many are very satisfied with the impact she has brought to women’s sport. For the first time a women’s sport event had a greater number of viewership (18.9 million) than a men’s one (14.8 million).

All the United States was connected to watch this girl score points and take the Iowa team higher and higher. In this season she totaled 3,951 points and averaged 28.4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 8.2 assists breaking all time records.

The Iowa Hawkeyes announce there will never be another number 22 jersey again, because there will never be another Caitlin Clark.

The Indiana Fever have the number one pick in the WNBA Draft and they are expected to pick Clark at the first one. 

We will certainly hear about her and her great career. It is definitive that Caitlin Clark gave women sports attention and she will continue to do so throughout time. She is now a legend and is making a big difference in the hearts of many athletes.
