Before Caitlin Clark entered the WNBA ranks as the Indiana Fever’s No. 1 overall pick, the basketball superstar was a record-breaking athlete for the University of Iowa.
Clark’s talent on the basketball court shined bright as she went on to set the all-time NCAA scoring record — but her talents in the classroom also earned national recognition.
Earlier this year, Clark was named the 2023-24 Academic All-America Team Member of the Year — marking the second year in a row she received the honor.
Clark, a marketing major, boasted an impressive 3.64 GPA.

“Eh, honestly, I was kinda glad to not have to go—Carver-Hawkeye Arena doesn’t have any air conditioning, so it gets like really hot with all those people in there in the spring and summer,” Clark joked about missing her graduation ceremony.
