The Caitlin Clark Phenomenon - The Ringer

Caitlin Clark’s superstardom is being recognized across the world of sports.

On Wednesday morning, ESPN announced its list of nominees for the 2024 ESPYS.

Clark has been nominated for awards in three categories: Best Athlete, Women’s Sports; Best College Athlete, Women’s Sports and Best Record-Breaking Performance.

Clark deserves serious recognition for her impact on women’s sports over the past couple years. Following her record-breaking collegiate career with the Iowa Hawkeyes, she entered the WNBA ranks with unprecedented fanfare.

Clark’s arrival as the Indiana Fever’s No. 1 overall pick has brought countless new eyes to the WNBA — setting viewership and attendance records at every turn.

Clark isn’t the only WNBA athlete to receive a nomination. Las Vegas Aces superstar and current MVP front-runner A’ja Wilson was also nominated for the category of Best Athlete, Women’s Sports.

The ESPY Awards are scheduled to take place on July 11.
