Not even a week after her spectacular career at Iowa came to a close, women’s basketball superstar Caitlin Clark is already being honored in a significant way by the program.
The school announced on Wednesday that Clark’s No. 22 will be retired by the women’s basketball team.
It’s an incredibly monumental moment of recognition, as the immediacy of its retirement highlights just how profound Clark’s legacy will be on the team and the sport itself.
Clark will soon begin her WNBA journey, likely with the Indiana Fever as the top pick in the 2024 draft. However, this is just another strong reminder that her memory will loom large on Iowa for years to come.
We’d expect a jersey retirement ceremony will happen sometime in the upcoming Iowa women’s basketball season.
