Caitlin Clark received huge honor due to her impact on women's sports
In honor of her achievements in women's athletics, Caitlin Clark was named the AP Female Athlete of the Year. Throughout her debut season in the WNBA, Clark received numerous accolades on and off the court. Earlier this month, the Fever star was named TIME Magazine's 2024 Athlete of the Year.
Clark acknowledged the athletes who came before her as her greatest inspirations when she accepted the medal. The Fever star named former WNBA player Candace Parker as one of the sportsmen who helped her achieve basketball stardom.
“I grew up a fan of Candace Parker and the people who came before me and to be honored in this way, is super special and I’m thankful,” Clark said. “It was a great year for women’s basketball and women’s sports.”
Clark is the fourth basketball player to earn the award. The previous players who were named AP Female Athlete of the Year were Sheryl Swoopes (1993), Rebecca Lobo (1995) and Candace Parker (2008, 2021).
Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and boxer Imane Khelif were among the other female athletes considered for the prize. Khelif came third in the voting, while Biles ended second.
In 2024, Clark led Iowa to the national championship game. Although she came up short, it led her to be the top pick of the WNBA Draft. The Fever star wrapped her rookie season averaging 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists.
Clark earned Rookie of the Year honors, beating Chicago Sky's Angel Reese. She also became an All-Star in her first season and part of the All-WNBA First Team.
