“Congratulations to Caitlin Clark on making history as the NCAA all-time leading scorer. With 3,685 points and counting, you’ve made your school proud,” President Joe Biden wrote on X.

Clark's journey to this moment was marked by not just one, but three significant record-breaking performances in less than three weeks. Among these, she eclipsed Lynette Woodard’s major college women’s scoring record and Kelsey Plum’s Division I record before surpassing Maravich’s 54-year-old record on Sunday.

Just last week, Clark announced that she would be entering the 2024 WNBA Draft.

“While this season is far from over and we have a lot more goals to achieve, it will be my last one at Iowa. I am excited to be entering the 2024 WNBA Draft. It is impossible to fully express my gratitude to everyone who has supported me during my time at Iowa — my teammates, who made the last four years the best; my coaches, trainers, and staff who always let me be me; Hawkeye fans who filled Carver every night; and everyone who came out to support us across the country, especially the young kids,” the Iowa women's basketball star said.
