Iowa guard Caitlin Clark prepares for an interview at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland on Wednesday, April 3, 2024. 2024 was a monumental year for the growth of women’s basketball, and superstar Caitlin Clark contributed to that growth. For the first time in program history, Iowa women’s basketball sold out its 2023-24 season tickets. All but two away games were sold out when the Hawkeyes came to town. Iowa women's basketball guard Caitlin Clark has always been a star. Clark entered college as a five-star recruit with two state records. After four years with the Hawkeyes, Clark became the NCAA's men's and women's all-time leading scorer, has amassed several awards and honors, and was selected by the Indiana Fever as the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft. With her growing fame around the world, fans are selling out every arena she plays in. But, with the growth of women’s basketball comes a media craze and constant expectations. Still, Clark is grateful for the opportunity to inspire a younger generation.
