While most Cornell students head off to enjoy Spring Break, three Cornellians will be going to Fayetteville, Ark., to compete in the NCAA indoor track championships.
Junior women’s track star Jeomi Maduka has already made numerous headlines, including a featured article in USA Today.
Maduka was named Ivy League Player of the Year yesterday for her performance on the court, leading the women’s basketball team to the NCAA tournament.
That wasn’t a typo. She’s potentially going to the NCAA tournament for basketball and track. Maduka qualified for NCAAs in the long jump with the eighth best jump in the country.
“It was pretty exciting to see her article in USA Today,” said men’s head coach Nathan Taylor.
