Okay, so I got curious the other day. You know George Kittle, the 49ers guy? Big dude. I was watching something, maybe an interview or some sideline shot, and saw his wife, Claire Kittle. And the thought just popped into my head: “Wonder how tall she actually is?”
My Little Search Mission
So, first thing I did, grabbed my phone while sitting on the couch. Went straight to the usual search engine, you know the one. Typed in something simple like “claire kittle height”. Just wanted a quick number, easy peasy.
Scrolled through the results that popped up. Got a mix of stuff, really. Some fan sites, maybe some gossip column type things? Saw a few different numbers thrown around here and there, nothing really official-looking right off the bat. You know how it is online, sometimes people just guess or repeat what someone else guessed.
I figured, okay, maybe that was too simple. Maybe I needed to be more specific. Tried adding “feet inches” to the search query. Still kinda fuzzy, honestly. Lots of talk about how tall she looks next to George, comparing them, but not a solid number for just her that seemed totally reliable.
Digging a Bit Deeper
Then it clicked. I remembered hearing something before – didn’t she play sports? Yeah, pretty sure she played basketball back in college. That’s usually a goldmine for stats like height, they measure everyone.
- So I went back to the search bar. Typed in different things this time. Tried stuff like “claire kittle basketball career”.
- Then I remembered her maiden name was Till, so I tried “claire till iowa basketball height”. Thought that might pull up old official records.
- Spent a few minutes looking through links, trying to find old team rosters or official player profile pages from the university athletic department.
Bingo! That seemed to do the trick. Started finding some older stuff, archives from her University of Iowa days. College sports sites, especially the official ones or reliable sports stats sites, usually list the official height for players on the roster back then.
Most places I found from that time seemed to list her at around 5 feet 11 inches (or 5’11”). That felt way more concrete and trustworthy than the random guesses I saw first. It made sense too, watching clips of her playing, she definitely had the height for Division I basketball.
So yeah, it wasn’t super obvious just from a quick general search. I had to kind of backtrack and remember that basketball connection. Took a few different tries with my search terms, but I feel pretty good about that 5’11” number based on digging into her college athlete info. That was my little investigation for the day, just satisfying some random curiosity!
