Caitlin Clark has big goals for second half of Iowa basketball career

Caitlin Clark bid farewell to her Iowa regular season career with a flourish on Sunday against Ohio State, receiving a special tribute from fashion designer Kristin Juszczyk to commemorate the occasion.

Ahead of Sunday’s game, Kristin Juszczyk, wife of San Francisco 49ers star Kyle Juszczyk, presented Clark with a unique gift inspired by Taylor Swift’s fashion statement during the NFL playoffs. Juszczyk had gained attention when Taylor Swift wore a red puffer coat made from a Travis Kelce jersey at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Wildcard victory over the Miami Dolphins.

In honor of Clark’s stellar collegiate career and her final regular season game, Juszczyk crafted a vest jacket adorned with several of Clark’s iconic No. 22 jerseys collaged together on a black backdrop. Clark’s name and number graced the back in the Hawkeyes’ signature yellow, while notable achievements such as her record-breaking points, assists, three-pointers, and field goals were proudly displayed on the vest.

Clark’s last regular season game proved to be a memorable one as she led the No. 6 Hawkeyes to a triumphant 93-83 victory at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. She dazzled the crowd with an impressive performance, tallying 33 points, nine assists, six rebounds, and three steals, earning a hero’s reception from the sold-out audience.

“I wish I could add all her awards on there, but you would need 700 jackets to fit all that. Which is incredible,” Juszczyk told Yahoo Sports. “It’s a special piece and I hope she loves it.”
