Caitlin Clark has been full of jokes this week, proving that she’s just a regular person despite her superstar status.
Clark is continuously shattering records during her rookie season in the WNBA with the Indiana Fever, but she will never forget her humble beginnings at the University of Iowa where she burst onto the scene.

Kate Martin, who played alongside Clark and Marshall and now plays for the WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces, chimed in with a message of support saying, “In your running era.”
Then, Clark bluntly chimed in with, “Pick up the pace.”
Social media had a field day with Clark’s viral comment which had everyone laughing.

It’s great to see Clark still having fun. With all of the pressure she has had to carry as the new face of the WNBA and front-runner to win Rookie of the Year, it would be easy for someone to crumble.
But Clark has proven that her mental strength is right on par with her skills on the court.

This season, Clark is averaging an incredible 18 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 8.1 assists per game. She leads all WNBA guards in blocks and broke the all-time rookie record for most three-pointers made in a single season.
It’s the latest in a growing number of record-breaking achievements from Clark during her opening campaign in the WNBA.
Clark leads the WNBA this season in three-pointers, having extended her total to 88 during the win against Connecticut.
She has already set a single-season rookie record (224) for assists and has more assists and more turnovers than any other player in the league this season.
Clark was drafted as first pick by the Fever in 2024 after breaking multiple records in her college years at the University of Iowa.
Clark broke a 54-year record held by Pete Maravich in 2023 to become the all-time leading scorer in men’s and women’s college basketball with 3,951 points.
She averaged 28.4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 8.2 assists during her college years and helped boost the popularity of women’s basketball.
Almost 19 million people tuned in to watch the Iowa Hawkeyes – Clark’s college side – in their National Collegiate Athletic Association final in 2023.
