Caitlin Clark, former Iowa guard, had her number 22 retired in a ceremony at Iowa’s Carver-Hawkeye Arena following the Hawkeyes’ 76-67 victory over No. 4 USC. Clark, who recently completed her historic college career, expressed her emotions, likening the experience to the familiar pre-game butterflies she used to feel. She was joined by her family at center court as her jersey was raised to the rafters, marking the culmination of a remarkable career at Iowa.
Clark made history as college basketball’s all-time leading scorer and led the Hawkeyes to consecutive appearances in the NCAA national championship game in the last two seasons. The jersey retirement ceremony was attended by a sellout crowd of 14,998, including former and current coaches, teammates, and notable figures like David Letterman.
