Former Iowa star Caitlin Clark repeated as the winner of the Honda Cup, given to the nation's top NCAA women's athletes for their off-the-court impacts.
The former Iowa star, who finished her career as the all-time Division I scoring leader, joined Moore , Tracy Caulkins and Rachel Garcia as the only people to accomplish that.“It's hard to wrap your head around. To be in the same air as her is pretty incredible,” Clark told the AP in a phone interview. “She's someone I grew up idolizing since I was 10 years old and wanted to do everything like her.”“It stinks,” Clark said of missing the show.
“It's cool that they are doing it here this year,” said Northwestern lacrosse player Izzy Scane, who also was honored as the top in her sport last year. “It's great to get to see New York.” Clark, who is a two-time Associated Press Player of the Year, is the 18th basketball player to win the award.“In our 48-year history, only a handful of athletes have won the Honda Cup twice,” said Chris Voelz, executive director of the Collegiate Women Sports Awards. “Just as she achieved numerous historical firsts in her senior year, Caitlin Clark makes history with us as the fourth two-time Cup winner and only the second to win it back-to-back.
Gretchen Walsh of Virginia couldn't make the awards ceremony as she was at the U.S. swimming trials for the Olympics. Walsh qualified. Parker Valby of Florida also missed the ceremony as she was trying to qualify for the Paris Games in track and field.
