Cook who prepped at St. 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 won national titles in 1979 and 1980. He is ranked sixth all-time in Hopkin's career scoring with 219 points. Cook earned first-team All America honors two years and second-team honors while in college, as well as being named the National Collegiate Player of the Year and the National Collegiate Attackman of the Year winner in 1981.

Cook also led Hopkins to championship finals in 1981 and 1982, getting upset by UNC 14-13, Hopkins' first title game loss in the preceding four years, and losing also to North Carolina 7-5 in 1982.

Cook had a six goal performance in the 14-13 finals loss to North Carolina in 1981. In that game he had a seventh goal disallowed because the referees did not see that Cook's shot had gone into the goal and out the other side, through the net.[1]

Cook was elected to the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2006.
