Caitlin Clark Honored With Jersey Retirement Amid Iowa Win Over USC

Caitlin Clark had a memorable jersey retirement ceremony at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Sunday, where she reflected on her journey and expressed gratitude to those who supported her throughout her career. During the game against USC, which the Hawkeyes won 76-69, Clark took the opportunity to praise sophomore guard JuJu Watkins, whom she sees as a rising star. Clark's historic contributions to Iowa basketball include being the program's all-time leading scorer and the highest scorer in women's college basketball history with 3,951 points. As she transitions to her professional career with the Indiana Fever, Clark hopes to build on her Rookie of the Year success and work towards a championship title, aided by her new coach, Stephanie White. The ceremony and game celebrated not only Clark's achievements but also the future potential of the Iowa women's basketball program. Her jersey will be the first number retired in Iowa women's basketball history, marking a significant milestone for the program.
