It was a heck of a 2024 for Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark.
She led the Iowa Hawkeyes to a second-straight appearance in the national championship, falling one game short of the title with a loss to the South Carolina Gamecocks. Along the way, Clark became the NCAA’s all-time scoring leader, passing former LSU Tigers star Pete Maravich (3,667) and finishing her college career with 3,951.
Shortly after, the point guard was selected No. 1 overall in the 2024 WNBA draft to the Fever. She led her new team to its first playoff appearance since 2016. Clark also broke many records during her rookie season, including the most assists in a season and the most points by a rookie, all while being named to the All-WNBA first team.
On New Year’s Eve, Clark celebrated her amazing year with an Instagram post, highlighting her 2024 experience both on and off the court. The post is going viral with nearly 50,000 likes just 22 minutes after publishing.
“My fav moments from the best year,” Clark captioned her post. “Time to make 2025 even better.”
Some sports figures left their own message for Clark, sending their thoughts in the comment section.
“What a year,” Golden State Valkyries guard Kate Martin said.
“Best year ever,” Los Angeles Sparks forward Cam Brink wrote.
“can’t wait for the tunnel fits in 2025,” added former Iowa star Gabbie Marshall.
“Only going up from here!!!” commented Kristin Juszczyk.
Clark is now preparing for her second season in the WNBA. However, after the Fever fired coach Christie Sides, they added 2023 WNBA Coach of the Year Stephanie White to the team.
With a young core including Clark, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell, and a coach of White’s caliber, Indiana could be a serious championship threat in the coming season.
