Right after Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Big Ten women’s basketball tournament championship on Sunday afternoon, the Hawkeyes star took a quick detour before celebrating with her teammates in the locker room.
An elated Clark changed course when she saw a group of young fans waiting to meet their basketball idol. She ran to the other side of a rope and had security guards follow her to the side of the hallway.
The 22-year-old guard signed various posters and items for the young fans, who cheered with joy when she ran over to them. It was clear she made their day.
