Iowa’s Caitlin Clark passes former Ohio State guard Kelsey Mitchell for all-time Big Ten scoring lead

The inevitable happened.

Iowa basketball star Caitlin Clark has been putting up some astronomical scoring numbers since her arrival in Iowa City, and you just knew if she stayed healthy, she was going to break some major records.

One of those fell tonight when Clark passed former Ohio State guard Kelsey Mitchell for the all-time Big Ten scoring lead in a game against the Northwestern Wildcats. Mitchell, who played for the Buckeyes from 2014-2018, tallied 3,402 points in her career, but that was easily topped by Clark on Wednesday night.

Either way, I’m not sure many knew that Mitchell still held the all-time scoring record in the Big Ten. Clark is now second all-time in the NCAA too, meaning Mitchell is now No. 3 all-time in the NCAA record books.

Clark is chasing Washington’s Kasey Plum who scored 3,527 points in her career. That record is almost sure to fall as well in the very near future.
