As former Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark continues to establish her legacy in the WNBA, the legacy she left behind in college will never be forgotten.

Clark's numbers at Iowa speak for themselves, as she left college with multiple program and NCAA records.

Clark holds 10 NCAA records, including the Division I scoring record (3,951 total points), the most career three-pointers (548), the most career points in the NCAA Tournament (491), and the most career assists in the NCAA Tournament (152).

Her legacy at the University of Iowa can never be tarnished, and The Sporting News has recognized Clark as one of the best women's collegiate players ever.

The Sporting News named Clark to its All-Time Women's All-American First-Team

Clark is the best scorer in college basketball history, but her legacy goes far beyond that.

She is also one of the best passers the game has ever seen, leading the NCAA in assists for three straight seasons and guiding Iowa to back-to-back National Championship appearances.

All that and more prompted the Sporting News to give Clark a unique distinction.

The Sporting News named Clark, alongside Chamique Holdsclaw (Tennessee), Cheryl Miller (USC), Diana Taurasi (UConn), and Breanna Stewart (UConn) as an All-Time Women's All-American First-Team selection.

All those players are legends of the game, and for Clark to be named among them is a very special distinction.

It is not a stretch to say that Clark changed the game with her dynamic scoring and playmaking abilities, and Iowa fans had the privilege to watch what she did up close and personal.
