Cook who prepped at Saint Paul"s School (Brooklandville, Maryland) and McDonogh School, led Johns Hopkins to a 51 and 5 record during his time there. With the Blue Jays, Cook led the team to the national titles in 1979 and 1980. He is ranked sixth all-time in Hopkin"s career scoring with 219 points.
Cook also led Hopkins to championship finals in 1981 and 1982, getting upset by University of North Carolina 14-13, Hopkins" first title game loss in the preceding four years, and losing also to North Carolina 7-5 in 1982.
Cook"s six goal performance in the 14-13 finals loss to North Carolina in 1981 is especially notable. Cook had another goal disallowed because the referees did not see that Cook"s shot had gone into the goal and out the other side through the Netto.
Cook played for United States of America in the 1982 Lacrosse World Championships hosted in Baltimore, Maryland. Cook was elected to the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2006.
