Herstory Made

  As I type this, the all-time NCAA basketball record has just been rewritten. It happened about a half hour ago. Now, before I continue on with this, let me preface this with a couple things.  One, I have had a personal connection to the Iowa Hawkeye women's team this year. My oldest, Jake, is an intern in the Iowa Hawkeyes Sports Marketing department. They work in the same building as the basketball team. They run into each other daily.  Two, I realize I normally write and support women's wrestling. Go with me on this one. (FYI, when I was 12, I wanted to be an Iowa Hawkeye basketball player.) Less than an hour ago, Caitlin Clark broke the all-time NCAA scoring record for both men and women, surpassing Pete Maravich from LSU. Many things have come to mind for me as I think about the magnitude of this. Women's sports have come deeper into the spotlight the last year or two. The Iowa Hawkeyes sell out arenas all over the country. That has never happened ever in history. Mos
