Shooting from that far away, or almost that far, is nothing new for Clark. In February, she broke the all-time NCAA scoring record for men and women in the same manner.
Clark threw the ball from close to the Iowa Hawkeyes logo in the first half of a game against Michigan on February 15. She finished the evening with a Hawkeyes record 49 points, surpassing “Pistol” Pete Maravich’s previous mark of 3,667.
Former Iowa Hawkeyes sensation Caitlin Clark will debut in the WNBA in a few weeks.
Her dominance in college led the Fever to select her as the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft. Caitlin Clark’s superstardom led to a record-breaking women’s Final Four for viewership.
