NEW YORK – Former University of Iowa guard Caitlin Clark was named the 2024 Honda Cup Award winner for the second consecutive year by Chris Voelz, Executive Director of the Collegiate Woman Sports Awards.
Clark was the first student-athlete at the University of Iowa to win the Honda Sport Award for Basketball and Honda Cup Award in back-to-back years.
The Honda Sport Award has been presented annually by the CWSA for the past 48 years to the top women athletes in 12 NCAA- sanctioned sports and signifies “the best of the best in collegiate athletics”.
The CWSA, entering its 48th year, has honored the nation’s top NCAA women athletes for their superior athletic skills, leadership, academic excellence and eagerness to participate in community service.
Clark, who now plays for the WNBA’s Indiana Fever, is the NCAA basketball all-time leading scorer and the only player in NCAA Division I men’s or women’s basketball history to lead her conference in scoring and assists in four consecutive seasons. Clark led the nation in 10 different offensive categories, including averaging 31.6 points and 8.9 assists per game and also broke the NCAA women’s tournament scoring record during the Hawkeyes’ final NCAA Tournament run.
