There is no denying Caitlin Clark's impact on the sports world in 2024. After breaking onto the scene during her record-setting run with the Iowa Hawkeyes, Clark took the WNBA by storm and led the Indiana Fever to the playoffs.

Since the WNBA season ended, Clark has been popping up at various sporting events and rubbing shoulders with the who's who in sports.

Clark has been spotted at an NBA G-League game with boyfriend Connor McCaffery and most recently an Indy Ignite volleyball game.
