Iowa's Caitlin Clark Wins 2024 Naismith Women's College Player of the Year Award

There was no doubt who would take home the Naismith Women's College Player of the Year award this season, and it was made official Wednesday.

Iowa's Caitlin Clark, who has captured the attention of the nation with her record-breaking performances and long-range shots throughout the season, won the award for the second straight year and defeated fellow finalists Cameron Brink of Stanford, Paige Bueckers of UConn and JuJu Watkins of USC.

Clark was the Naismith Award winner, Wooden Award winner, Associated Press Player of the Year, Big Ten Player of the Year and Big Ten Tournament MVP all while leading the Hawkeyes to the national championship game last season but has somehow been even better in 2023-24.
