NEW YORK (AP) — In elementary school, Caitlin Clark wrote down a list of her goals and dreams which included playing in the WNBA one day.
That dream will become a reality Monday night when Clark is expected to be taken first by the Indiana Fever in the WNBA draft. Her mom Anne still has the piece of paper that Clark wrote it on.
“It’s pretty special, looking back at that sheet I was able to check off a lot of goals,” Clark told the AP on Sunday.
Clark said she never dreamed of the impact she has had in helping grow the sport to where it is today with record ratings and attendance numbers.
“If you would have told me that we would here playing in front of 24 million people on national television, I’d say that was insane. I still can’t wrap my head around it,” Clark said. “Something that everyone should be proud of. Everybody that came before us to have this moment. Where it’s going to continue to grow, the young stars in our game are really good. The WNBA is really good. The talent level across the board has helped this.”
