Caitlin Clark is in a league of her own.
The Iowa women's college basketball superstar netted her 3,000th career point on Wednesday night in the Hawkeyes' 67-58 win over Iowa State on Wednesday night.
She scored 35 on the night, but her 3,000th put her in never-before-seen territory.
She's the first NCAA basketball player, man or woman, to score 3,000 points while recording 750 rebounds and 750 assists.

Clark became the 26th college basketball player of both genders to record 3,000 points in a career, and the 15th woman - she did so in her 110th career game.
She is now 515 points away from becoming the all-time leading scorer among women - Kelsey Plum had 3,527 during her four years at Washington from 2013 to 2017.
This season, she's averaging 29.6 points per game - if she continues to score at this rate, she's on pace to become the women's leading scorer on Feb 25 against Iowa. So, it's practically a matter of when, rather than if.
She also could beat Pete Maravich's all-time record of 3,667 - at her current 29.6 points per game this season, she'd set the record in potential postseason play.
