Sorry to hear about this... It can happen so easily.

Since the engine was revved much higher than redline, you might want to do a compression test and check the oil pressure to rule out any mechanical damage.

If a valve floated, it might have smacked a piston and bent a valve or put a small hole in the piston.
The oil pumps also don't like RPM greater than ~8,000 and since your clutch exploded, you were probably around 10-13,000 RPM or more.
You are lucky your oil pump didn't shatter!
