As we get set for the start of a new year, many social media users take the time to share some of their favorite pictures on Instagram to celebrate the year that was in anticipation for the year to come.

Caitlin Clark may have just won.

Clark's Instagram caption reads, "My fav moments from the best year. Time to make 2025 even better."

The 20-slide collage showcases all that Clark was able to accomplish in the past 12 months. She posted pictures from her senior season at Iowa, where she led the Hawkeyes to their second-straight national championship game and had her number retired-- while she was still playing.

Clark takes the audience through her transition to the WNBA, sharing snapshots of her and her teammates throughout the course of the season. A particular slide was dedicated to her gameday outfits, always looking sharp before tipoff.

Clark shared some of her personal life as well. She and her Iowa teammates, including Gabbie Marshall and Kate Martin, posed with their Final Four rings at Kinnick Stadium. She and boyfriend Connor McCaffrey posed for a picture in the couple's Halloween attire. Clark and friends sunbathed on a boat over the summer.

It is nice to see Clark sharing some of her personal life with fans. While she may have won countless awards and received endless praise, she also dealt with a great deal of criticism. She tends to be rather quiet on social media, and that criticism could very well be the reason.

It's nice to finally see Clark looking happy-- and hopeful for an even better 2025.
