To round up the second day of the Indiana Fever training camp, Caitlin Clark displayed her precise shooting, demonstrating that nothing has changed from her time with the Iowa Hawkeyes.
On Monday in Indianapolis, Clark was spotted shooting a hoop at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse by launching the ball from midcourt. The footage of Clark winning her team’s halfcourt shooting competition went viral on Monday night.
Shooting from that far away, or almost that far, is nothing new for Clark. In February, she broke the all-time NCAA scoring record for men and women in the same manner.
Clark threw the ball from close to the Iowa Hawkeyes logo in the first half of a game against Michigan on February 15. She finished the evening with a Hawkeyes record 49 points, surpassing “Pistol” Pete Maravich’s previous mark of 3,667.
Former Iowa Hawkeyes sensation Caitlin Clark will debut in the WNBA in a few weeks.
Her dominance in college led the Fever to select her as the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft. Caitlin Clark’s superstardom led to a record-breaking women’s Final Four for viewership.

Caitlin Clark took the women’s college basketball world by storm with a plethora of dazzling performances. Over her past four years with the Iowa Hawkeyes, Clark has cemented her NCAA legacy through a variety of records and awards.
She became the 15th NCAA Division I women’s player to surpass the 3,000-point mark, and she would soon break Kelsey Plum’s NCAA women’s career scoring record when she scored a career-high 49 points on Feb. 15 against Michigan, via ESPN.com.
Clark also passed former KU star Lynette Woodard, who scored 3,649 points in her career at Kansas. Clark became the NCAA men’s and women’s all-time leader by passing “Pistol” Pete Maravich.
She managed to do this but never reached the mountain top to win a National Championship, as the Iowa Hawkeyes would go on to lose in back-to-back years.
