Caitlin Clark's 2025 SO FAR

While most of us are barely keeping up with our New Year's Resolutions, this former Hawkeye is starting off 2025 strong.

Not only did she kick off her year as a guest on Jason and Travis Kelce's podcast 'New Heights', but Clark also went into 2025 as the latest TIME Magazine Athlete of the Year.

Pretty impressive, right?

Well, Caitlin also made an appearance at the Chiefs versus Texans game on Saturday, January 18th. Clark is a longtime Kansas City Chiefs fan, so it's no surprise she was in attendance for this important matchup.

It's just who she was watching the game with that drew a whole lot of attention.

Even though Caitlin has achieved so much over the past few years in the sports world and beyond, it's tough to remember that she's still just a recent college graduate.

The NCAA record breaker celebrated her 23rd birthday on Wednesday, January 23rd. While most people her age would be going out for drinks or maybe going on an exciting vacation, Clark was back on the court putting some work in for the 2025 WNBA season.

In a video shared by her team, the Indiana Fever, Clark showed off her iconic three point shooting skills.

And her numbers did not disappoint!

The Fever's rising star shot 50-for-54 from the three on her birthday. Dang! Talk about some amazing accuracy!

In a practice exercise, Clark had to attempt to make 10 shots from five different spots all across the court.

Her percentage for this task was actually 37.7% BELOW her average college percentage, according to reports.

So, while these are still impressive numbers she's putting up, there's definitely room for her to improve before heading into the 2025 WNBA season.

If she's able to keep this shooting game up at the age of 23, can you imagine what sort of level she'll be playing at when she turns 24?
