Cook and Arkansas marked their 12-year anniversary in 2014 and celebrated the program s first NCAA Individual Champion, as Katherine Grable collected the NCAA title in both vault and floor exercise. In 2015, Cook led the Razorbacks to their 12th-consecutive NCAA Regional appearance and 10th-consecutive top-15 finish. A two-time SEC co-coach of the Year, Cook has led Arkansas to 14 straight NCAA Regional appearances from 2004-17. Those include seven NCAA Championship appearances, including six straight from 2008-13, and NCAA Super Six appearances in 2009 and 2012. He has coached two individual national champions, Katherine Grable on the vault and floor in 2014, in addition to 24 First Team All-Americans, 18 Second Team All-Americans and eight NACGC/W Regular Season All-Americans. He has also coached two SEC individual champions, Casey Jo Magee on beam in 2009 and Jaime Pisani on beam in 2012, and two SEC Gymnasts of the Year, Jaime Pisani in 2012 and Katherine Grable in 2014. Cook came to Arkansas in May 2001 to build the Razorback program from scratch. He was consulted on the construction of one of the top practice facilities in the nation. He selected, ordered and assembled equipment; and helped fans and Northwest Arkansas quickly accept and learn about his sport. He was also scouting, recruiting and signing the first recruiting class in school history. Cook was the head coach at Stanford University for four seasons (1998-2001), leading the Cardinal to two Pac-10 titles, four NCAA Regional appearances, two NCAA top-10 finishes, and produced several individual and team records which still stand. He coached the program s first individual national champion, Larissa Fontaine on vault. During his tenure, Stanford finished as high as eighth in the nation (2001). Prior to Stanford, Cook helped build NCAA and Pac-10 champions at UCLA as an assistant coach from 1995-97. During Cook s three years at UCLA, the Bruins won two Pac-10 titles, three NCAA Regional championships and their first NCAA Championship (1997). Cook s work led to UCLA moving from fourth at NCAAs the season he arrived in 1995 to national runner-up in 1996 before taking the team title in 1997.
