IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa freshman Caitlin Clark has been named a WBCA All-Region honoree, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association announced Wednesday.

The WBCA selection committee will select the 10-member WBCA Division I Coaches’ All-America team from the list of 52 All-Region honorees, which will be announced on April 3.

The All-American is the 16th Hawkeye in program history to earn WBCA All-Region honors. It is the fourth consecutive season that a Hawkeye has earned the honor. Megan Gustafson was named to the WBCA All-Region team in 2018 and 2019, and Kathleen Doyle was named to the team in 2020.

Clark, a native of West Des Moines, Iowa, leads the country in points per game (26.8), ranks second in assists per game (7.2) and 3-pointers per game (3.86), 29th in free-throw percentage (86.0), and 34th in 3-point percentage (40.9).

Clark and the Hawkeyes continue their 2021 NCAA Tournament run on Saturday against UConn. Tipoff is set for noon (CT) on ABC. We’ll have coverage on KJAN with pregame at 11:45 a.m.
