History was made on the basketball court on when Iowa's Caitlin Clark launched a three-pointer from the logo on Thursday night. After the ball went in (nothing but net, obviously) Caitlin became the the all-time leader in NCAA women's sports — the guard is now on her way to becoming the all-time leading scorer in the history of college basketball (she's less than 100 points away from Pete Maravich's record, which has stood for five decades.) "Such a special night inside Carver surrounded by everyone who has supported me on this journey. I am so lucky to have the best family, teammates, coaches, and fans Thank you to everyone who has reached out – your kind words mean the world to me Go Hawks!," she tweeted after the game.
After her record-setting evening, many A-list names in the sports, entertainment and political worlds publicly showered Caitlin with praise. Click through to see how some of the country's biggest names are congratulating #22.
