The bond Caitlin Clark had with her Iowa teammates seemed to be a central reason why they were so successful during Clark’s tenure there.

It must have been hard for all of these Hawkeyes to be apart from each other after their 2023-24 NCAA season ended, especially considering they were together almost every day for years.

That’s why it was so great to see Clark return to her alma mater this weekend and reunite with her Iowa teammates, which started with them attending Hawkeyes basketball practice.

The former Hawkeyes still had a whole evening to spare after practice ended. And they decided to spend it attending the 14th birthday party of longtime Iowa assistant and first-year head coach Jan Jensen’s daughter.

Since then, several photos of Clark and her teammates at the 14-year-old’s birthday party have surfaced on social media. One of them shows the Fever superstar posing with the birthday boy.

Yesterday we saw that Kate Martin and Gabbie Marshall also returned to Iowa with Clark. It turns out that Monika Czinano, one of her former teammates and close friends, wasn’t able to attend yesterday’s Hawkeyes practice, but she made it in time for the birthday party.

Another photo of Clark, Marshall, Martin and Jansen’s daughter appearing to braid Martin’s hair was posted on X by @ccthegoat22.

And the entire group posed for a photo in front of the birthday cake, crowning what was probably the most unforgettable birthday celebration of Jensen’s daughter’s entire life.

Maybe Clark and her former teammates will have more fun on Saturday.
