Kellie has been a leader on the OVC Champion women’s basketball team, on campus and within the conference for her roles in Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) activities. A starter for the Golden Eagles for four seasons, she helped capture two OVC regular-season titles under two different head coaches. Off the court, she has not only been a four-year member of Tech’s SAAC, she has represented all of Tech’s 300 student-athletes on the OVC SAAC, and served as the OVC representative to the NCAA Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, representing the interests of thousands of student-athletes nationwide.  As a four-year captain of the women’s basketball team, Cook wrapped up a solid career by winning the team’s Frank Porter Award for her overall contributions to the team, including leadership, sportsmanship and fair play, as well as academics, citizenship and poise, on and off the floor. She also won the team’s Academic Award, owning a 3.9 GPA. She started in 17 of Tech’s 31 games in 2012-13, averaging 5.1 points and 2.5 rebounds, and owning a 2.3-1 assist-to-turnover ratio, the best on the team. For her career, Cook played in 113 games with 77 starts, and scored 812 points, a career average of 7.2 per game. As president of the Tech SAAC, she was responsible, in part, for coordinating student-athlete participation in community services, and leading activities such as organizing OVC Hoops for Heroes for three years, Cookeville Christmas Parade, Great Move-In Day, and Barefoot Run for Samaritan’s Feet. She was a volunteer and participant in the Habitat for Humanity Women’s Build, Canned Food Drive for Helping Hands, and soliciting donations for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. As captain of the women’s basketball team, she coordinated or was part of her team’s activities such as speaking to elementary school students, basketball clinics for the Mustard Seed Ranch and area schools, Cookeville FunFest, Christmas Shoe Box for Samaritan’s Purse, Purple Pride Caravans, Adopt-a-Family Christmas Party, YMCA Healthy Kids Day, a fundraising benefit for a student-athlete whose family’s home was destroyed by fire, and Habitat for Humanity Car Wash and House Building. Kellie has also been an active member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), including four years at a leadership camp. Away from her school activities, she has maintained her volunteer spirit, including working for Upward Basketball, volunteering at local elementary school “Lunch Breaks,” and spearheading a Canned Food Drive for Haiti Relief.  She has found time for all of those extracurricular and volunteer activities, all the while achieving success in the classroom by winning the OVC Medal of Honor and earning membership in the Athletics Director’s Honor Roll every semester and the OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll each year.
