Caitlin Clark Shares Emotional Moment With Family After Breaking Scoring Record

Caitlin Clark knew exactly who she wanted to embrace after setting the women's scoring record Thursday night:

Her family.

The Iowa superstar and women's college basketball sensation broke Kelsey Plum's all-time scoring record after pouring 49 on Michigan to hit 3,569 career points.

After years of domination, Caitlin Clark is now in a league of her own. It was a very powerful moment, and one we should all be applauding.

It was also clear that the power of the moment and the emotions of the night were a bit overwhelming for Clark and her family. She embraced her parents after setting the record, and her father could be seen telling her just how much he loves her.

Her parents certainly have a lot to be proud of. Watch the awesome moment unfold below, and hit me with your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

The Iowa legend also shed a few tears after the game as everything started to set in for Clark.

Clark is now the highest scoring player in women's college basketball history, and she will probably make the record untouchable if she returns for another year. However, that's a conversation for another time.

It was simply awesome to see the reactions flood in Thursday night after Clark re-wrote the record books. Not only did she break the record, but she's held herself to an incredibly high standard and is a great example of what a role model looks like for young athletes.

There's no drama surrounding her. It's all about Iowa basketball.

Props to Caitlin Clark and the sports world now sits and waits to see what she can do next. She'll forever be a college basketball legend.
