Missing Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin, Iowa Star Reminisces WNBA 2024 Draft Day
The end is the start. That is what the Iowa Hawkeyes have been experiencing after the NCAA 2023 season ended. They reached the Championship Finale only to lose to the South Carolina Gamecocks. If that wasn’t enough the Hawkeyes had their head coach Lisa Bluder retiring and their formidable players Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin progressing to the WNBA. On Thursday, an Iowa star came forward to share her take on being in New York to support Clark and Martin.Jada Gyamfi was present during a media interaction when she reflected on missing Clark and Martin while reminiscing her time at the WNBA 2024 draft. “I felt really lucky and grateful that I was there. And that I was able to make those friendships and they’re really freaking cool people. So I’m like ‘Wow, I picked the right, the right girls to be friends with.’ But it was also really cool just to be there and support them,” Gyamfi said, via Iowa’s News Now.
“Support Caitlin through all the craziness of being you know the best player out of college basketball and then to be there for Kate when her dream came true to make it to the WNBA. I was like fully in tears which probably doesn’t surprise a lot of people but yeah I was just really grateful to be there and I’m proud of them every day,” Gyamfi added.
