Weldon to leave women’s basketball team

Tuesday, September 16, 2008

Sophomore point guard Chakeitha Weldon will pursue her career away from Kansas.

Women’s basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson announced Friday that the Atlanta native had left the program for personal reasons.

Weldon played sparingly as a freshman before tearing ligaments in her knee during practice in early February. The Jayhawks return senior Ivana Catic and junior LaChelda Jacobs at the point guard position. Freshman Angel Goodrich also figures to see playing time.

“We wish Chakeitha well in her future endeavors,” Henrickson said in a prepared statement.
