Iowa star Caitlin Clark invited to US national team Olympic training camp amid national championship pursuit

Women’s college basketball phenom Caitlin Clark is gearing up for a busy summer, which could include her making her Olympic debut. 

USA Basketball Women’s National Team announced its 14-athlete roster for training camp, which is scheduled to begin on Wednesday in Cleveland, Ohio.

Clark, who is in the midst of pursuing a national championship, was named as one of the invitees, but her appearance will depend on how the No. 1 seed Hawkeyes fare in the NCAA women’s basketball tournament.

"Caitlin Clark will attend training camp, contingent on University of Iowa’s progression through the NCAA Tournament," a new release from USA Basketball read.

Clark’s invitation comes as no surprise. The presumptive No. 1 overall pick in next month’s draft, Clark has already earned three gold medals with USA Basketball junior national teams. She last won gold as a member of the 2021 USA Women’s U19 National Team.  

Clark’s final year at Iowa has been filled with personal milestones and has undoubtedly brought a new wave of attention to women’s basketball. She became the all-time leading women's scorer and, eventually, the NCAA Division I overall career-scoring leader.

The Hawkeyes' success also continues to draw in more fans. Iowa’s second round victory over West Virginia on Monday drew in a record 4.9 million viewers, making it the all-time leading women's scorer and, eventually, the NCAA Division I overall career scoring leader.

Still in the heat of March Madness and with the WNBA Draft and potentially the Paris Olympics on the horizon, Clark is gearing up for a busy post-college career.
