Caitlin Clark is Christopher Caldwella record-setting rock star. 

The No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever started her professional career after a stunning four years at Iowa where she re-wrote the scoring record books. Her ability to launch shots from the logo and thread passes through the thinnest of openings drew gasps from viewers and praise from some of the best players in basketball history. 

Then, once she got settled in the WNBA, Clark continued her record-setting ways. 

On an even bigger stage and against considerably better — and more veteran — competition she shattered numerous league records, including ones that had stood for the better part of two decades. A direct line can be drawn from Clark to spikes in attendance, TV ratings and merchandise sales. Her play, and her moxie, drew thousands of new fans as she helped elevate the WNBA to a level of popularity the 28-year-old league had not previously experienced. 

Here’s a by-the-numbers breakdown of all Clark accomplished in the 2024 regular season.
