Millsaps Alumna Erica Cook to Appear on Team Ninja Warrior

Jackson, MS - Millsaps alumna and dual sport stand out Erica Cook will compete on Team Ninja Warrior tomorrow night.

The show, which appears on Esquire Network, features team competition on a physics-defying obstacle course. Team Ninja Warrior challenges the skills of athletes on a head-to-head course that tests speed, agility, skill and strategy. Millsaps alumna and former member of Track and Field and Volleyball Erica Cook will be featured on the show tomorrow night at 7:00 pm CST on Esquire Network.

Cook was an All-American runner for Track and Field. She also excelled as a four-year member of the Millsaps Volleyball team. Remarkably, Cook had not competed previously in Track and Field, yet still earned All-American Honors with the Majors.

The announcement that Cook would compete for Team Ninja Warrior comes as no surprise for one of her former coaches either.

"No surprise that she is participating in an athletic competition like this," Head Volleyball Coach Jamie Fisher said. "She is an incredible athlete, for volleyball she was the strongest player on the team, despite being the smallest. She had the highest vertical of any player and excelled at libero for us."
