The Kansas City Chiefs are rooting for Caitlin Clark during March Madness!
The Super Bowl champion team posted a throwback photo of Clark, 22, to its Instagram page on April 5 with a message of support.
“You cheered for us. Now it’s our turn! All of Chiefs Kingdom is rooting you on tonight, @caitlinclark22 🏀,” the caption read. The post included a photo of Clark as a little girl, wearing a red, yellow and white Chiefs shirt and matching shorts.
Clark smiled brightly in the photo, with unidentified boys flanking her on either side, making silly faces. The boys were black and white in the photo, while young Clark stood out in color.
The NCAA women’s basketball March Madness tournament continues on April 5 with the Final Four. The first game, between the NC State Wolfpack and the University of South Carolina Gamecocks, began at 7 p.m. ET. Clark and the Hawkeyes will take on the University of Connecticut Huskies at 8:30 p.m. ET.
Clark has been making headlines on her journey to become the new all-time scoring leader in NCAA Division I basketball among men and women. She achieved the feat on March 3, surpassing the late Louisiana State University (LSU) basketball player “Pistol” Pete Maravich.
Her collegiate scoring record finished with 3,685 points; Maravich’s previous record was 3,667 points.
“Honestly, if you would have told me that before my college career started, I would’ve laughed in your face and been like, ‘No, you’re insane,’” Clark told ESPN when reflecting on her achievement after the March 3 game.
