REPRESENTING the University of Florida at the Clemson Bob Pollock Invitational this weekend, Natricia Hooper, with a distance of 14.10m was good enough to see her finishing second behind fellow ‘Gator’ Jasmine Moore who won the women’s triple jump at the event with a leap of 14.55 metres.

However, Hooper’s distance also saw her reset Guyana’s National triple jump record for the second time in less than a year.

In May of 2021, Hooper erased Guyana’s 26-year-old National women’s triple jump record of 13.74 metres which was set by Nicola Martial (June 3, 1995) and replaced it with 13.92 metres.
Hooper now holds the second and third best all-time distances in the women’s triple jump at the University of Florida.

She was named on the 2021 USTFCCCA Indoor First-Team All-American (triple jump) and 2021 USTFCCCA Outdoor Second-Team All American (triple jump).
Hooper is considered as one of the best triple jump athletes to compete in the NCAA.
