OFF THE COURT
She’s taken up baking and cooking as stress relief
(brownies, especially) and also likes to hang out by a pool

Pro-Am tournament during the summer, golfing alongside
former Master’s and British Open champion—and selfdescribed
world’s biggest Hawkeye fan—Zach Johnson.
IN THE

Clark said her academic achievements
are as important to her as her athletic
accomplishments. An Academic All-
American, she is on track to graduate with
an undergraduate degree in marketing and
minor in communication studies. Clark
will finish her coursework in the fall with
Business Communication and Protocol
(BCAP), a couple of marketing classes and
some gen eds. She knows that someday
she’ll have to hang up her Nike basketball
shoes for the next stage in life—and she
needs an education to be ready for that.
Given her experience, she thinks something
in sports management makes sense, or
maybe even team ownership.
An honors student, she has the same drive
to succeed in the classroom as on the court.
“I can’t not give it my all,” she said. Her
academic performance puts her on the
Dean’s List, but not the President’s List. “I
don’t have a 4.0,” she said, ruefully. “I wish.”
