The 5-foot-8 Cook broke her own state single-season record in assists, amassing 1,341 this fall by distributing to six different teammates who finished with more than 100 kills. Selected as the Honorary Captain of the Omaha World-Herald All-Nebraska Team and the Lincoln Journal-Star Super State Team, Cook led the Thunderbolts (35-4) to a second consecutive Class B state championship. An All-Class All-Tournament selection, she added 292 digs, 165 kills, 51 aces and 39 blocks in 2007. Cook was named Under-17 National Division MVP at the 2007 USA Volleyball Junior Olympic Championships as the setter for a Nebraska Volleyball Academy squad that won the national club title.

Cook has maintained a 3.7 GPA in the classroom and serves as an enthusiastic member of Students Opposed to Drugs and Alcohol (SODA). She also volunteers on behalf of multiple community service initiatives in association with the National Honor Society.

“She means everything to our team,” said Pius X head coach Jake Moore. “With her background and her dad (University of Nebraska head coach John Cook) being who he is, she’s been around the sport so long, you don’t have to go into great detail. She’s very perceptive and picks up on the game plans immediately. Having a setter that’s a coach’s kid, I couldn’t ask for anything better.”

Cook will begin her senior year of high school next fall and remains undecided upon a collegiate destination.
