Iowa women's basketball player Caitlin Clark wins National Player of the Year

Iowa women’s basketball junior guard Caitlin Clark was named the Naismith National Player of the Year Wednesday afternoon.
Clark, who was a finalist for the award last year, is averaging 27.3 points, 8.6 assists, and 7.3 rebounds this season.
Clark thanked her Hawkeye teammates and coaches as she accepted the award.
“Winning this award is a huge accomplishment,” Clark said. “This is such a huge honor for our family and program. None of this would be possible without my tremendous support system. I was to thank [Iowa head coach] Lisa Bluder and her staff for giving me the opportunity to play basketball at the University of Iowa. It is a place I have thrived in since I stepped on campus.”
Clark and her teammates have been so much fun to watch this year. I have seldom seen an athletes who enjoys playing as much as she does.
