Marshall shared her family’s water adventure in Turks and Caicos on Instagram, receiving love from Clark in the comment section, where she said, “slayyyy queen.” Clark also humorously pointed out her concern about Marshall’s younger brother, Luke, driving a jetski.
Caitlin Clark honored as AP Female Athlete of the Year
Caitlin Clark’s transition to professional basketball has been remarkable, earning her titles such as WNBA Rookie of the Year and WNBA All-Star. She recently secured the title of AP Female Athlete of the Year, edging out runner-up Simone Biles by a mere 10 votes in a competitive race where Clark received 35 votes compared to Biles’ 25. Esteemed figures like WNBA legend Rebecca Lobo have praised Clark for her impact on women’s basketball.
“She’s brought unprecedented attention both in the building, but also viewership to the sport that was worthy of it but didn’t have it yet. There’s never been anything like this,” Lobo commented.
Lobo also commended Clark’s ability to navigate criticism with grace, noting her flawless responses under constant scrutiny. With her career achievements, Clark’s future looks promising.
