CLEVELAND — Caitlin Clark is capping her illustrious college career with another record-breaking season and another set of prestigious awards. The star guard from Iowa was honored Thursday as The Associated Press Player of the Year in women’s basketball for the second consecutive year.

Iowa’s Caitlin Clark speaks during a news conference announcing the AP NCAA Women’s Coach and Player of the Year Thursday, April 4, 2024, in Cleveland.

Clark received 34 votes from the 35-member national media panel that votes on the AP Top 25 each week. Cameron Brink of Stanford received the other vote. Voting was done before March Madness began. The NCAA Division I career scoring leader set numerous records while helping Iowa reach the Final Four for a second consecutive season. A semifinal matchup with UConn awaits on Friday night in Cleveland.

“If we’re at home or on the road the arena is screaming, there’s young boys, there’s young girls that you know are inspired,” Clark said. “Whether you win or lose, no matter how many points you score, at the end of the day that doesn’t really matter. It’s the people that you’re inspiring. I think that’s been the coolest part of my journey.”
