Iowa’s Caitlin Clark gets perfect 6-word Nike tribute after breaking NCAA record
Nike gives Caitlin Clark her flowers after a historic Thursday night
On Thursday, Caitlin Clark made history. Drilling a 30-footer during the first quarter of Iowa basketball’s game against Michigan, the superstar broke the NCAA women’s basketball all-time scoring record. Clark surpassed former record-holder Kelsey Plum, whose 3,527 career points stood at the top since 2017.
Many were witnesses to the big feat, including Nike itself, who put out a tribute to the Iowa guard. The world’s leading sportswear brand posted a picture of Clark with a quote that reads “You break it, you own it.” (via Joe Pompliano)
Clark’s latest achievement just adds to her growing list of collegiate accomplishments. This season, the NCAA sensation is averaging 32.1 points, 8.3 assists and 7.0 rebounds per game, leading Iowa to a current 23-3 record. Throughout her entire tenure with the Hawkeyes, Clark has tallied 28.2 points, 8.0 assists and 7.0 boards a contest.
With the current season still ongoing, Caitlin Clark will surely bring up the amount of points on her newly-secured record. Additionally, she hasn’t won a national championship yet, so if everything falls into place for her, 2024 could just be that year.
