Even though Caitlin Clark is no longer living in the Corn State, corn somehow continues to play a major role in the young rookie's life.

The Former Iowa Hawkeye wrapped up her senior year by helping take her team to the NCAA Women's Basketball Finals. Unfortunately, Clark and her teammates did not go out of this historic season champions.

However, the West Des Moines native did in fact make a huge impact on the program and the game that season.

Clark broke the all-time NCAA scoring leader and even beat out Pete Maravich's 54-year-old record, according to reports.

After this record-breaking season, Clark was drafted first overall to the Indiana Fever. After a rocky start to the season, the Fever are ranked #6 in the league and are set for the playoffs.

She is even in the running for WNBA's Rookie of the Year!

While all of Caitlin's accomplishments are exceptional, this might be the most Midwestern of them all.

Caitlin Clark's Own Corn Maze

An orchard in Northwest Indiana decided to pay tribute to one of the state's newest and biggest stars the only way they knew how; a corn maze.

The team at County Line Orchard in Hobart, Indiana designed and created an entire corn maze on their grounds.

"Her incredible success and impact on the WNBA is a huge inspiration, and as a proud Indiana business, we wanted to pay tribute to her achievements!"

This is unbelievable! Not only did they create a giant version of Caitlin Clark, but they made sure to include her iconic #22 jersey. Plus, right next to her physical likeness are the words "We <3 Caitlin Clark" carved right into the corn field.

Located about two hour from Indianapolis, this orchard has two massive mazes for customers to check out. There's the Caitlin Clark Corn maze and a gummy bear Soybean Maze.
