Caitlin Clark Dominates 2024 ESPYS Nominees With 3 Noms After Record-Breaking College Career
Caitlin Clark's record-breaking collegiate career continues to be celebrated despite turning pro this year as she earned the most nominations at the 2024 ESPYs.
The list of nominees is in and Clark is leading this year's awards with three nods -- all for her time as an Iowa Hawkeyes standout.
The 22-year-old guard for the Indiana Fever is nominated for Best Record-Breaking Performance after breaking Pete Maravich's 1967-1970 NCAA All-Time Scoring Leader record; Best College Athlete in Women's Sports; and Best Athlete of the Year in Women's Sports.
Clark played for the University of Iowa for four years, shattering multiple records and posting even more new ones. To say that she had a stellar college career is an understatement.
In her senior year, she was the unanimous Big Ten Player of the Year, Sporting News Athlete of the Year, Naismith Player of the Year and AP Player of the Year, among many other accolades.
She also became Iowa's all-time leading scorer and assist leader, had the most 30-point games in NCAA Division I history (men and women), became DI women's scoring leader, had the most 3-pointers in a single season by a DI player (men and women), passed Temeka Johnson for the most career assists in NCAA tournament history, Diana Taurasi for the most career 3-pt FG in NCAA history and Taylor Robertson for most career 3-pt FG in DI history.
You can find her very long list of accomplishments, records and honors here.

Clark will be going up against other big-time winners in the different categories, including San Francisco 49ers Christian McCaffrey's record-breaking 17 straight games with a touchdown for Best Record-Breaking Performance. Haleigh Bryant of LSU Gymnastics is also nominated for Best Female College Athlete, while A'ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces is nominated for Best Athlete in Women's Sports.
If she wins, this will not be the first ESPYs for Clark. In 2023, she won Best College Athlete, Women's Sports.
The 2024 ESPYs will be held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California, on July 11 at 8 p.m. ET. It will air live on ABC and will be hosted by tennis icon Serena Williams.
