Their relationship remains evident in ongoing support—Marshall often appears in Clark’s social media activity and in-person at games, underscoring the lasting ties formed on the team.
On Senior Day, the Iowa Hawkeyes hosted No. 6 Michigan at Carver-Hawkeye Arena to honor four seniors, including Jada Gyamfi, a teammate with whom Clark has built a close off-court friendship. Gyamfi could not play due to injury, but Clark still showed her support by resharing a post on Instagram Stories. The caption read: “A senior from Johnston, Iowa No. 23 Jada Gyamfi 🫶.”
