Despite her staggering success, Caitlin Clark seems irked by the one metric she deems destined to never reach.
Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark is on a record-breaking trajectory in the WNBA, having shattered numerous rookie records during her 2024 campaign. She set impressive benchmarks for assists in a regular season (337) and for assists in a single game (19), solidifying her status as a rising star in professional basketball.
Despite her remarkable achievements, there’s one personal goal that Clark seems unlikely to reach: being six feet tall. A resurfaced excerpt from a March 2023 article by Pat Harty on HawkFanatic.com highlights Clark’s long-standing desire to be listed at six feet. Her high school coach, Kristin Meyer, recalled how Clark would often push for that height designation, jokingly stating that she wouldn’t list her as such until they stood back-to-back and Clark was taller.
Although Clark is now officially listed at 6-foot, Meyer noted that she’s likely grown a bit since high school. However, during a recent 60 Minutes interview released on September 29, Clark candidly admitted, “I’m not quite six foot, I’m not the strongest.” She appeared a bit sheepish about not reaching that height.
Yet, being just under six feet hasn’t hindered Clark’s ascent in the WNBA. Her talent and determination have propelled her to extraordinary heights, and it seems unlikely that her stature will slow her down anytime soon. As she continues to break records and make a name for herself, Clark’s journey serves as a testament to s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁 and perseverance over physical metrics.
