Hooker took second place in a windy 100m final at the 2011 USA Outdoor Championships to qualify for her second World Outdoor team. At the 2011 Prefontaine Classic, Hooker ran a personal best time of 10.86 which ranks her as the third fastest in the event this year. Hooker became the fifth-fastest woman in history, under any conditions, when she ran a wind-aided 10.76 (+3.4) to win the first heat of the 100m quarterfinals at the 2008 Olympic Trials. In June 2006, Myers elected to forgo her final season of collegiate eligibility to pursue a professional track and field career. She will remain a student at Texas and continue her training under coach Beverley Kearney. Hooker, an eight-time All-American, left UT as one of the most decorated student-athletes in the program's history. Hooker made her mark as one of the top athletes in collegiate track and field during the 2005 outdoor season, when she helped Texas to its fourth NCAA outdoor title. Hooker became UT's third NCAA 100-meter champion and its first since 1991, when she claimed the event in 11.14 seconds. She also anchored the 4x100-meter relay team to victory in 42.87, the third-fastest time in school history.
