Caitlin Clark has received an invitation to participate in the training camp of the USA basketball team during the Final Four in Cleveland. The condition for her participation is that the season in Iowa ends. As the NCAA’s Division I all-time scoring leader, Clark has already won three gold medals with USA Basketball’s junior teams, most recently as part of the 2021 Under-19 team.
The Indiana Fever projects Clark to be the top pick in the upcoming April 15 WNBA Draft. Her performance drew millions of viewers as nearly 5 million watched the Hawkeyes in their second-round matchup against West Virginia. Nine former Olympians such as Diana Taurasi, Ariel Atkins, Chelsea Gray, Britney Griner, Jewel Lloyd, Kelsey Plum, Breanna Stewart, Aya Wilson and Jackie Young will also participate in the training camp.
Notable players such as former WNBA Rookie of the Year winners Aaliyah Boston and Ryne Howard will also be present at the camp along with Sabrina Ionescu and Shakira Austin. The USA basketball team recently triumphed at the FIBA Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Belgium by winning over host nation Nigeria and Senegal. The team has dominated women’s basketball at the Olympics since 1996 and will face Belgium, Japan and Germany in pool play at this year’s Olympics.
Clark’s inclusion in Team USA’s training camp is a testament to her talent and dedication to her sport. As one of the country’s top young players, she continues to make an impact both on and off the court. Excitement is building for this upcoming training camp and Olympics, with many eagerly anticipating what Clark will bring to Team USA’s roster later this spring.
In conclusion, Caitlin Clark receiving an invitation to join USA basketball team during Final Four was a huge accomplishment for her career as well as for Iowa Hawkeyes fans who watched her games closely throughout college season.
