NEW YORK – University of Iowa graduate student Kate Martin was selected by the Las Vegas Aces with 18th overall pick in the 2nd round of the WNBA Draft. Martin joins teammate Caitlin Clark in the 2024 draft class as the fifth Hawkeye to be drafted into the WNBA since 2019, following Kathleen Doyle, Megan Gustafson, Monika Czinano, and Clark.
19 Hawkeyes have been drafted or signed in the WNBA since the league originated in 1997. This marks the first time since 1998 that two Hawkeyes have been drafted in the same year.
The Edwardsville, Illinois, native stands as the first Iowa women’s basketball player to have amassed 900+ points, 500+ rebounds, 400+ assists, 120+ steals, and 60+ blocks in a career and is the third player in school history behind Clark and Sam Logic to net 1,200+ points, 700+ rebounds, and 450+ assists. Martin scored 10+ points in 30 games this season, 15+ points in 17 games, while averaging 13.1 points per game in her senior campaign.
Martin was named to the Ann Meyers Drysdale USBWA National Player of the Year Watchlist and to the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association’s 21st class of “So You Want To Be A Coach” program in her final season.
QUOTING P. SUE BECKWITH, MD, HEAD COACH LISA BLUDER
“I’m so proud of Kate because her dreams came true. She has been such a big part of our program over the last six years. Her efforts did not go unnoticed by her peers. I wish Kate all the success with this next step!”
As expected former Iowa star Caitlin Clark was the first pick in the WNBA Draft.
The announcement on ESPN’s coverage of the draft. Clark is a two-time national player of the year and is college basketball’s all-time leading scorer and third all-time in assists.
Clark feels her passing will be her biggest strength in the WNBA.
Clark led the Hawkeyes to back-to-back appearances in the national title game and shared a moment with Hawkeye coach Lisa Bluder after being selected by the Fever.
Clark joins a young but talented Fever team that is anxious to regain its winning ways. Indiana has not made the WNBA playoffs since 2016.
Clark has spent the past year balancing endorsement opportunities, school and basketball and feels that has prepared her for the next level.

(Radio Iowa) – The legislature has passed a bill requiring motorists in Iowa to yield not just to pedestrians in crosswalks, but to bicyclists, skateboarders and people on scooters or in wheelchairs. It expands current state law, which says drivers face criminal charges if they injure or kill a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Representative Jon Dunwell of Newton says it’s important to protect others using a crosswalk to navigate traffic.
“Speaking as someone who back in 2000 I was in a bike lane and got hit by a truck and spent seven days in the hospital with four operations, and I can tell you how important it is with bikes and cars on the road that we protect bicyclists and create these safety areas,” Dunwell said. Representative Thomas Gerhold of Atkins says the bill will save lives and prevent injuries.
“Create more awareness from drivers when they are approaching a crosswalk, either marked or unmarked,” Gerhold said. The bill is headed to the governor’s desk. It passed the House at the end of February on an 84 to eight vote and the Senate approved it unanimously last week. The neighboring states of Nebraska, Minnesota and Illinois have similar laws.
