Caitlin Clark doesn’t want to be remembered just for her for breaking records. She wants to be remembered for Caitlin the person and how much joy she and her teammates brought to women’s basketball and to Iowa Hawkeyes fans.
Caitlin Clark owns a lot of records, including being the all-time leading scorer in NCAA Division I basketball. But, just ask Kelsey Plum warned months ago before Clark broke the women’s scoring record, Caitlin should be remembered for who she is beyond the records.
Caitlin echoed that sentiment on Sunday, after a record-setting day that saw Maya Moore and Travis Scott pay a visit and a sweet custom jacket to remember it all.
“A record is a record. I don’t want it to be the reason people remember me. I hope people remember me for the way I played with a smile on my face, my competitive fire. They can remember the wins but also the fun me and my teammates had together,” Caitlin Clark

Here’s what she said to the media:
“A record is a record. I don’t want that to be the reason people remember me. I hope people remember me for the way I played with a smile on my face, my competitive fire. Sure, they can remember the wins but also the fun me and my teammates had together.”
