Cornell Women's basketball player Jeomi Maduka has chosen to leave the team and focus her career on Track and Field. The decision was apparently very hard for Maduka, who was a two-sport All-American and also was named the 2007-08 Ivy League Women's Basketball Player of the Year. Now a senior, it was time for her to choose between Track and Field and Basketball.
On the track, Maduka was named All-American 3 times for her efforts and a two-time Top 10 finisher at the NCAA Track and Field Championships during her Big Red career. She was convinced that Track and Field was her biggest strength this summer when she competed in the Olympic Trials for Long Jump as well as several other events.
