Caitlin Clark surpassed all expectations and shattered a lot of records. The Iowa basketball legend had a chip on her shoulder after losing to Ohio State in their previous matchup. This was the perfect time for her to pop off and prove that her squad could rule over the Big Ten Conference.

The President had to give his flowers after Caitlin Clark sank the shot which put her ahead of Pete Maravich in the NCAA Division I all-time scoring list.

“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.
