IOWA CITY, Iowa– Caitlin Clark’s Iowa career has been over for a few months, but the honors continue to roll in. On Monday night, Clark was named the recipient of the 2024 Honda Cup Award for the second straight year. She’s only the fourth athlete to ever win the honor back-to-back times.
Clark is in the midst of a historic rookie season for the Indiana Fever and is the favorite to win Rookie of the Year. After a tough close loss to the Chicago Sky, her former teammate and current Las Vegas Ace Kate Martin was asked about Clark’s rookie season.
“I don’t know if there’s too much I can do beside just be a friend, right?” Martin said. “Be a listening ear, being there for her and being there for everyone. I mean Caitlin is phenomenal. And she is having a great rookie season.”
“I think people are really hard on her and expecting her to be perfect. That’s unrealistic, right? I’m going to support her through everything. She’s one of my best friends so, I’m just there for her. Sometimes just talking about other things than basketball if that’s what we need to do. I’m just trying to be the best friend I can there.”
Former University of Iowa guard Caitlin Clark was named the 2024 Honda Cup Award winner for the second consecutive year by Chris Voelz, Executive Director of the Collegiate Woman Sports Awards.
Clark was the first student-athlete at the University of Iowa to win the Honda Sport Award for Basketball and Honda Cup Award in back-to-back years.
The Honda Sport Award has been presented annually by the CWSA for the past 48 years to the top women athletes in 12 NCAA- sanctioned sports and signifies “the best of the best in collegiate athletics”.
The CWSA, entering its 48th year, has honored the nation’s top NCAA women athletes for their superior athletic skills, leadership, academic excellence and eagerness to participate in community service.
Clark, who now plays for the WNBA’s Indiana Fever, is the NCAA basketball all-time leading scorer and the only player in NCAA Division I men’s or women’s basketball history to lead her conference in scoring and assists in four consecutive seasons. Clark led the nation in 10 different offensive categories, including averaging 31.6 points and 8.9 assists per game and also broke the NCAA women’s tournament scoring record during the Hawkeyes’ final NCAA Tournament run.
Established in 1976, the CWSA honors the nation’s top NCAA women athletes for their superior athletic skills, leadership, academic excellence and eagerness to participate in community service. Since commencing its partnership with the CWSA in 1986, Honda has provided more than $3.6 million in institutional grants to the universities of the award winners and nominees to support women’s athletics programs.
