That’s because of the Iowa Hawkeyes guard’s impressive record-breaking run in NCAA basketball. On Feb. 15, the 22-year-old became the women’s career scoring leader, and a few weeks later she smashed another record — for all-time points earned by any NCAA Division I player, male or female.
But while she’s busy becoming the biggest star in college basketball, Clark has one fan who’s been keeping a close eye on her off the court, too. That’s her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery.
Clark and Iowa defeated UConn on April 5 to punch their ticket to the NCAA women’s championship. Iowa’s face-off against South Carolina on April 7, however, resulted in a tough 87-75 loss — but McCaffery had Clark’s back as he posted a photo of Clark to his Instagram story with a caption, “My GOAT @caitlinclark22.”
Read on to learn all about the man who’s been by Clark’s side as she makes hoops history.
