Waking up at 2 a.m. to do hair and makeup, senior Megan Hooks needed to leave by 3:30 a.m. to make her 6 a.m. call-time to cheer on the San Diego State football team in Carson, California. After cheering for four hours in the blazing sun, Hooks had a quick break before driving to Anaheim to cheer on the SDSU basketball team against the University of Southern California on Nov. 26. By 1:30 a.m., she was heading back to San Diego after almost 24 hours of travel and cheer.
Hooks is a fourth-year cheerleader and business marketing student at SDSU.
