Today, January 11th, 2021, Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-02) spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives to recognize the University of Iowa’s Caitlin Clark.
Mdm. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a record-setting student-athlete at the University of Iowa.
On January 2nd, sophomore guard Caitlin Clark became the fastest player in Big Ten history to reach 1,000 career points. She accomplished this in just 40 games, surpassing the previous record-holder from Ohio State. Reaching this mark against Evansville University, Caitlin put up a career-high 44 points in the 93-56 win for the Hawkeyes.
A life-long Iowan, Caitlin was named a high school All-American before coming to Iowa City and earning numerous accolades as a freshman, including Big Ten Freshman of the Year, First Team All-Big Ten, National Freshman of the Year, and First Team All-American honors.
Congratulations, Caitlin, and I look forward to watching you continue to dominate for the next two years. Go Hawkeyes!
