Caitlin Clark earned some new hardware after Thursday night’s ESPY Awards in Los Angeles.
The former Iowa women’s basketball and current Indiana Fever superstar guard was nominated in three categories from her time as a Hawkeye: best women’s athlete, best record-breaking performance (win) and a best women’s college athlete (win, second year in a row).
Below is a recap of all Clark-related happening from the awards show:
Caitlin Clark wins “Best record-breaking performance”
After breaking the Division I scoring record for both men’s and women’s basketball, Clark won the ESPY for “best record-breaking performance.”
She wasn’t in attendance to receive the award but did send a video message saying thanks.
Caitlin Clark mentioned in segment on growth of women’s sports
Serena and Venus Williams, and actress Quinta Brunson, all gathered on stage to discuss the growth of women’s sports over the past year.
The segment featured many jokes and sarcasm, with one portion focused on encouraging new women’s sports fans to treat the athletes the same as anyone else.
During the messaging about liking more than one athlete at a time, Venus used the example of “Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese,” alluding to their ongoing WNBA Rookie of the Year race and how it has divided some of the sport’s fanbase.
Caitlin Clark falls short of “Best Athlete-Women’s Sports” to winner A’ja Wilson
Absolutely no surprise or shame in Clark losing this category to the great A’ja Wilson of the reigning WNBA back-to-back champion Las Vegas Aces.
Clark even being nominated for her college performance is a testament to her Iowa career and greatness.
Wilson is a two-time WNBA MVP and Defensive Player of the Year who is currently enjoying what many consider to be one of the greatest individual WNBA seasons of all time: 26.9 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.9 steals and 2.7 blocks per game.
Other nominees were Coco Gauff (tennis), who won the 2023 U.S. Open at just 19 years old, and Nelly Korda (golf), who won the Chevron Championship and held the world No. 1 ranking in 2023.
Caitlin Clark wins best women’s college athlete during ESPYS Red Carpet Show
Clark’s honors got started even before the show officially started.
During the ESPYS Red Carpet Show, which featured coverage of some of the top athletes arriving for the event, Clark was announced as the winner of “best women’s college athlete.”
This is the second year in a row that she’s received the award.
She beat out Haleigh Bryant (LSU gymnastics), Sarah Franklin (Wisconsin volleyball) and Izzy Scane (Northwestern lacrosse).
