Name: Erika Hooker Sport: Equestrian Division: Novice Career highlight: “When we won our first regional championship my sophomore year. … [B]efore that point we hadn’t won a regional championship before … we worked really hard for that that year and that really proved how much time and how much dedication that we had put into [it] and that was really exciting.” Major: International Agriculture and Rural Development and Communications Year: Senior Favorite team horse: “Oskar. He is the bounciest and he is the most uncomfortable but he is also the most adjustable and he is really fun to jump.” Favorite thing about Cornell: “I actually love the weather at Cornell … I love fall and I don’t really like being hot … and I like rain.” Fun Fact: “I worked as a waitress in an ice cream shop for six years and I can make literally the most perfect soft serve cone you’ve ever seen in your life, and I can make two at one time. So that’s a talent.” “Erika’s commitment to the team and her work ethic have been noteworthy since her first day as a rookie. She has one of the busiest schedules I’ve ever seen, but she takes it all in stride, and has been a great role model for younger girls on the team as a result.” -Emily Kowalchik, senior tri-captain Original Author: Ariel Cooper
