The Ivy League Player of the Year in women’s basketball has also shown an ability to excel on the track. Junior Jeomi Maduka, a star on the women’s basketball team, earned All-American honors in the long jump just hours before leading the Red to an Ivy League title-clinching win against Dartmouth.
Maduka had jumped 21—2 inches at Heps. She placed eighth at Nationals with a jump of 20-05.25. Junior Brittney Reese of Mississippi won the competition, which took place in Fayetteville, Ark.
