Iowa’s Caitlin Clark wins 2nd consecutive Wooden Award
Iowa Hawkeyes star Caitlin Clark was named the winner of the 2024 Wooden Award on Tuesday, taking home the honor as the most outstanding player in women’s college basketball for the second straight season.
Clark won the award over UConn’s Paige Bueckers, Stanford’s Cameron Brink, USC’s JuJu Watkins and Notre Dame’s Hannah Hidalgo, who were all finalists.
Clark made history this season and in her career. She finished with more points — 3,951 — than any men’s or women’s player in Division I. She is the only Division I women’s player to have more than 3,000 points and 1,000 assists in her career, totaling 1,144 assists. She also had 990 rebounds.
Her 28.42 points per game and 548 3-pointers are Division I career records, and this year’s 201 3-pointers and 1,234 points were single-season records.
Clark is expected to be the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever this Monday.
