Iowa star Caitlin Clark was rightfully emotional in her post-game press conference on Sunday after the Hawkeyes came up short in the women’s basketball national championship game losing 102–85 to LSU.
When asked what her legacy will be, if she decides to step away from the team, Clark couldn’t hold back her tears. As a native of Des Moines, Iowa, her player career with the Hawkeyes means a lot to her.
“I want my legacy to be the impact that I have on young kids and the people in the state of Iowa,” Clark said. “I hope I brought them a lot of joy this season. I hope this team brought them a lot of joy. I understand we came up one win short, but I think we have a lot to be proud of and a lot to celebrate. I was just that young girl, so all you have to do is dream, and you can be in moments like this.”
