Cook enjoyed a highly successful season with the Kennedy track team last year as a junior. He helped the Cougars place second in the 4x200 relay and second in the shuttle hurdle relay at the Class 4A state meet and finished third in the long jump at 22-1 3/4. Kennedy finished fourth in the team standings.

Cook also fared well at the 2013 Drake Relays. He helped Kennedy finish second in the 4x200 relay and second in the shuttle hurdle relay and placed fifth in the long jump at 22-2.
