University where Caitlin Clark was a star, or the state where she was born (4)

I believe the answer is:

iowa

(Other definitions for iowa that I've seen before include "State of USA" , "American state, capital Des Moines" , "Midwest US state" , "US swing electoral state" , "US state, three vowels" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
