Did you ever try to catch the rabbits on Park point?"Being a good friend of the park point fox, I don't really associate myself with the rabbits. The fox is much more friendly and has been known to show up to beach fires as well as go jogging alongside my brother when he runs."
What is with you and cold water?
"Cold water is way more refreshing then warm water. Lake superior is perfect temp."
When did Lewis and Clark come about? (Editor's note: Erika's high school teammate, Mya Gordon (now assistant coach) and Erika nicknamed themselves Lewis and Clark in their days back at Duluth Central High School. They did not let the adventures die as they were reunited at CSS for 2 years following Mya's transfer from Itasca Community College).
"I was assigned the task of scoping out the new world with Meriweather Lewis. We didn't really know each other, but he seemed competent and I respected him for his knowledge of crossbows and technique in canoe navigation. We hit it off right away. just a couple of kids really, off on an adventure. He saved my life several times as in my youth I had a tendancy of walking into buffalo stampeeds without looking. I had the chance to repay him, though, when Lewis wasn't paying attention to a particularly large pile of bushes that nearly squashed his scull. I pulled him to safety in the knick of time. and the rest is history.
What was going through your head when you were frantically looking around at the fog rolling in against Bethany? (Editors true note: Those in attendence at the April 30th game could witness Erika staring up towards the sky with a puzzled look at the fog as it appeared.
"The first thought that came to my mind was, obviously, where is my wand? I have watched enough Harry Potter to recognize the presence of dementors in the area. When I couldn't come up with a decisive answer I did start to worry, I mean who else could fend them off? Certainly not T-Dawg (3rd baseman Theresa Tauer) regardless of what she may say. Luckily, however, there was no attack.
What's the fish eye and how did that evolve?(Editors note: There is no explaining the fish eye... you'll have to ask her one day to perform it).
"You'll have to ask Lewis, I don't remember how it came about."
What's the best man made into animal you have ever made? (elephant, giraffe, fish... or something else)?
"I would say the top two are definately the elephant and the turtle. Sadly, nobody may ever witness the turtle again because Rilee Dawson lost the footage."
