   TRUE MAROONS     
Congratulations to Caitlin Clark '20 who was honored with the retirement of her #22 jersey on Sunday, February 2, 2025, at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The ceremony took place after the Hawkeyes beat USC 76–69. Clark wore a
custom Nike jacket that included Hawkeye and Indiana Fever logos and the DCHS crest on the back. Once a Maroon, Always a Maroon!
