Caitlin Clark broke three major college basketball scoring records in less than three weeks.

Finally, the Iowa superstar can take a breath.

“I’m so focused on helping this team win and be so great, it’s hard to wrap my head around everything going on,” she said. “I’m trying to soak in the moment.”

Clark’s dizzying regular season ended Sunday with her passing Pete Maravich as the NCAA Division I overall scoring leader during the sixth-ranked Hawkeyes’ 93-83 win over No. 2 Ohio State in Iowa City.

Four days earlier, she took down Lynette Woodard’s major college women’s scoring record, and two weeks before that she broke Kelsey Plum’s Division I record.
