Maintain your hold on gravity because she’s bouncing all around the field, it’s Frankie “Moon Boots” Saraniti. Coming in at 7’1, this speedster, AKA Franklin, Tanks, Frank the Tank, the Tank, Tanky, Tanklinstien, Franklinstien, Frankiestein, Frank, Rubert, Francesca Saraniti, Frankfurter, Franks for the Memories, Frankie Tankie, Tankfurter, “ya goon”, George Costanza, or Inventor of the Frankie Pour, was born at a young age in Waialua, Hawaii. She was then spirited away to Davis, California (home of the Bicycling Hall of Fame!) for high school before making her way to Carleton. The best place she’s ever been in all of these adventures has to be Dow in the early hours of the morning on Saturdays and Sundays. “The room just has this great aroma after everyone’s left,” says Frankie. Her favorite dining hall is LDC, but only when they really undercook the pizza. If she had to hold a celebrity hostage in her basement, it would be the one and only Kim Kardashian because “she’d give me a lot of money and teach me how to wear makeup”. Just like there’s no sound in space, you certainly won’t be able to hear anything coming out of that basement. Although the app maker and multi-talented millionaire might find it easy enough to make it out as Frankie’s phone password is KUWK. When she was young, Frankie’s favorite dish was seasoned worms. Maybe it was something about Hawaii’s tropical climate that made them extra squishy. I guess we’ll never know. When asked about the threat of the campus geese, Frankie stood out: she thinks they’re all deserving of love. This spring she plans on hosting some under her bed and feeding them bits of lettuce and orzo. That’s one small step for the geese, and one giant leap forward for all the goose-haters on this team. We’re all excited to have Ms. Boots on our team, and can’t wait to see her knock our competition (and our minds) out of this world!
