Caitlin Clark had the most nominations of any athlete at the 2024 ESPY Awards on Thursday, July 11
The WNBA star, 22, won two awards — the first of which she earned during the Thursday, July 11, red carpet broadcast. She took home the trophy for Best College Athlete Women’s Sports before Serena Williams took the stage to host the show.
She gushed: 'This award means a lot not only to myself but to my teammates and coaches that I had at the University of Iowa. It’s special for all of us and it was a special year in women’s athletics. Thank you, ESPN.' Clark’s popularity has been on the rise since her impressive run playing college basketball at the University of Iowa. In April, she was selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, and she made her professional debut with the Indiana Fever the following month.
