Caitlin Clark made history by becoming the fastest player to reach 100 3-pointers in NCAA history and led Indiana to its first playoff appearance since 2016. Her exceptional performance and impact on women's basketball earned her the Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year award.
Caitlin Clark is the fastest player to reach 100 3’s when she did it in 34 games, helping Indiana reach the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
Clark is only the fourth women’s basketball player to be honored as the female athlete of the year since it was first presented in 1931, joining Sheryl Swoopes , Rebecca Lobo and Candace Parker . For all the success Clark has had and the attention she has brought to women’s basketball, she is often the centerpiece of debates and online
As Clark handled the praise—and the backlash—during the heat of competition, it was hard for her to appreciate just what she was able accomplish over the past year. But after having time to reflect on the whirlwind tour, she appreciates those who were there alongside her for the ride. “You’d be remiss not to acknowledge how crazy her fan base is and the eyes she gets with everything she does,” said Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton, who was often spotted courtside at Clark’s Indiana Fever games. It’s a different type of popularity, she’s one of the most popular athletes in the world. It’s not just women’s sports anymore.Clark said she enjoys spending time with fans at games, usually taking a few minutes before and after games to sign autographs.
Lobo, who won the AP female athlete of the year award after lifting UConn to its first national championship, was on the court for launch of the WNBA two years later. The ESPN analyst sees Clark’s ascension as something different.
