Hooper erases triple jump outdoor national record

Natricia Hooper

Triple jump extraordinaire, Natricia Hooper, once again hopped, skipped and jumped her way into the record books. 

Hooper, 24, broke the national outdoor record on Saturday at a meet in the USA, recording 14.03m in the process erasing the previous record of 13.74m set by Nicola Martial in 1995. 

The Florida Gator who also owns the indoor record (14.10m), now has a firm grip on the status as the greatest female triple jumper born in the 592.
