They were eating it up, including Ledecky herself,who seemed just as star-struck as the rest of us.

In a heartfelt moment, Ledeckyopened up about what it meant to have Clark and the Fever in attendance. “It was really nice that they came out to support the swimming event,” Ledecky shared, her enthusiasm palpable. “And it looked like they had a great time, so that’s great as well.” She reflected on the sheer thrill of being part of this golden era for women’s sports, noting how Clark has been drawing massive attention in the WNBA and college basketball.

Ledecky, who’s gearing up for her fourth Olympic run in Paris, added, “A lot of great female athletes on Team USA, and we want to do our part and make everyone very proud back home when we’re in Paris.” If her current form is anything to go by, the U.S. can expect a few more gold medals added to her impressive collection.

The Indiana Fever’s presence at the trials wasn’t just a pleasant surprise; it was a testament to the camaraderie and mutual respect among elite athletes. Taking a break from their rigorous schedule ahead of a home game against the Washington Mystics, Clark, Aliyah Boston, and the rest of the Fever crew decided to support their fellow athletes. Their arrival was met with raucous applause, and Clark even indulged in a playful moment, dipping her fingers into the pool to test the water. “It seemed pretty warm, I guess,” she quipped, much to the delight of the fans.
