Clarke Hoping CU Can Help Her Reach Her Olympic Dream

Australian native was a late find for the Buffs in the 2018 recruiting class

BOULDER – Emma Clarke has one major goal in life, to play in the Olympics for her home country of Australia. A native of Perth, Western Australia, she originally committed to play basketball at UC Santa Barbara, but coaching staff turnover there led her to reopen her recruitment and sign with Colorado, a decision she believes will ultimately help her achieve her goal of playing for the Opals in the Olympics one day.

Clarke is on the right career path so far for making the Olympic team at some point in her future, starring on Australia's youth national teams.
