University of Iowa to Retire Caitlin Clark's Number 22

It didn't take long for the University of Iowa to make a decision regarding the legacy of perhaps their greatest athlete. Iowa athletic director Beth Goetz announced on Wednesday that the school will retire Caitlin Clark's number 22. 'With almost as much certain as Caitlin’s shot from the logo would drop though the net to the roar of this excited Carver crowd, we always knew your jersey would be hanging in the rafters one day.… It’s a privilege for me to now make that official.

She will be the third women's basketball player in program history to have her number in the rafters, joining Megan Gustafson and Michelle Edwards . Clark will more than likely be the first pick of the WNBA Draft on Monday night after a record-setting career. Perhaps no record she set is as prestigious as her becoming the NCAA's all-time leading scorer for both men's and women's basketball.

It’s super incredible. Something I’m very thankful for,' Clark said about the honor. 'Obviously, I’ve had some amazing teammates over the course of my four years here. There’s been a lot really good 22s that have come before me and played for this program, whether it was Kathleen Doyle or Sam Logic.
