Katie “send us nicknames please” Taylor is Eclipse’s newest speed demon, hailing from a mysterious place in the northwest of the United States called Not Seattle, Washington. We’re not certain that there is more to Washington than Seattle, but Katie claims her “funky” hometown has a parade for almost every holiday of the year. You might think Katie would be bored by Northfield, which only boasts the Defeat of Jesse James Day, but Katie is truly always smiley and excited, even when practice is in the snow. Katie is our newest convert from the widely celebrated sport of downhill skiing with only one ski, which she says is “probably a special talent.” According to Facebook, Katie likes a wide array of things, including “Grumpy,” “Sneezy,” “Bashful,” Sleepy,” and “Dopey.” We’re not sure why Doc and Happy aren’t included, but it’s safe to say you don’t want to cross all 4’10 of Katie T. But don’t let her height fool you! Being closer to the ground allows Katie to collect rocks, which she claims she doesn’t do anymore, but we wouldn’t be surprised if Katie joins the ranks of Eclipse’s geology majors. With her rock collection and a favorite food of “those dinosaur chicken nuggets that Costco sells,” Katie is well on her way to being a talented paleontologist, even though her fellow freshmen tell me that she’s good at Spanish. She was exited to see three rattlesnakes in two days last summer, but that’s nothing compared to the three squirrels in one minute she saw at Carleton this fall. We’re so excited for our newest member of “actually follows the theme” line on Eclipse!
