Throughout the summer, DartmouthSports.com will be focusing on members of the Class of 2020 who are currently in their "Sophomore Summers."
This installment features Ethan Cook and the men's swimming and diving team. At the Tate Ramsden Invitational, he swam well in the 100 free, 50 free and 100 back, earning season best times in the latter two events. He went on to improve on his time in the 100 free against Columbia to swim his fastest time of the year.
DartmouthSports: What have you been doing during your sophomore summer?
Ethan Cook: Honestly, this summer hasn't looked much different than my other terms at Dartmouth so far; I've mostly been doing my usual swim-food-class-repeat routine. My classes are super interesting, especially my anatomy class, which consists almost entirely of cadaver lab exercises. I've found I'm getting my schoolwork done very effectively because I spend so much time in the library because it's air-conditioned. In my spare time, I've done some sweet hikes in the White Mountains and spent a lot of time with friends.
DS: Outside of sports, what are you most passionate about?
EC: One of my biggest passions that I've found at Dartmouth is hiking. I go on a DOC trip to the White Mountains almost every weekend, even while I'm in season for swimming and during the winter. I even went to Utah and Iceland on interim break trips, which were incredible experiences. Overall, it's been a great way to explore all around the Northeast and get involved with a group of people outside the swim team.
DS: What has been your best on-deck memory thus far in your Dartmouth career?
EC: Coach Jamie has a policy in which on your birthday, you toss your goggles to try to get them to balance on the backstroke flags. If you make it, the whole team gets the day off of practice. Jamie was certain it would be impossible, but one day Patrick Kang successfully made the goggle toss! Despite the occurrence of a small miracle and a major celebration, it was not Patrick's birthday, so practice continued as normal.
DS: What is your favorite place on campus?
EC: The summit of Mt. Moosilauke. It's not quite "on campus" but it is owned by the college, so I think it counts. It's one of the few remaining areas of alpine tundra in the Northeast U.S., so it's quite interesting ecologically. I've also had several fond memories up there, from watching the sunrise on First-Year Trips to watching fireworks in all the surrounding towns on the Fourth of July.
DS: What is your useless/hidden talent?
EC: My second and third toes on both feet are partially connected, so I basically have built-in flippers.
DS: What was the recruiting process that sold you on Dartmouth?
EC: On the regular admissions office tour, I was skeptical that the tour guide was embellishing the extent of the opportunities for outdoor activities. I asked him after the tour how often students actually take advantage of the beautiful environment here. He replied that he was in fact going kayaking that afternoon. I was sold.
DS: If you could play another sport at Dartmouth, what would it be and why?
EC: Definitely Alpine Skiing. I really like to ski, but I don't get to go very often. I think it would be awesome to get to do that every day in the winter.
DS: Who would play you in the movie of your life?
EC: Michael Cera as he acted in "Superbad." I think the portrayal of a somewhat awkward, Dartmouth-bound normal guy in that movie would not be a bad representation of me.
DS: If you could go anywhere in the world right now, where would you go and why?
EC: If I could travel anywhere, I would go back to Iceland. It's an amazing country with a diverse array of landscapes like glaciers, mountains and lava fields. I would love to drive around the country to see all parts of it, hiking and camping at a variety of spots along the way.
