After magical run, Caitlin Clark bids goodbye to Iowa on social media

The long goodbye tour for Caitlin Clark ended Sunday, and the Iowa senior put a bow on it with a social media post on her Instagram story.

Clark, the all-time leading scorer in the college game, and the Hawkeyes lost to overall No. 1 seed and undefeated South Carolina in the national title game. She scored 30 points and passed Chamique Holdsclaw as the all-time leading scorer in the NCAA Tournament.

After the handshake line and post-game interviews and some tears, Clark took a moment to reflect on her four years in Iowa City. She posted a photo of her No. 22 jersey and her right shoe with the message ‘I’ll miss ya’ followed by seven golden hearts.

Later Sunday evening, Clark shared another message of love and gratitude for Iowa, this time on X (formerly Twitter).

And while Clark missed the last training camp for USA Basketball, she could be added to the roster before the Paris Olympics, which begin July 21.
