Sixteen-year-old Woodlands High School junior Kassidy Cook is no stranger to attention in the diving world.
She's a three-time junior national and junior Pan American individual champion on both the one- and three-meter boards, and she won first place in the 2011 AT&T National Diving Championships in three-meter synchronized diving alongside Cassidy Krug. She's a favorite to represent the United States in the Olympics in London this summer.
Now she's making an appearance for a bigger audience on Nickelodeon. The kid's channel had a camera crew following Cook around on Tuesday — Happy Valentine's Day? — for what is rumored to be about a day in her life, balancing elite-level athletics and a normal high school life.
No word yet an exactly what Nick is filming Cook for — it might have something to do with the network's "I Play Because..." anti-obesity program, or it could be timed to correspond with Olympics coverage. Cook didn't respond immediately to CultureMap's request for comment, but she did tweet "Having a lot of fun doing things for Nickelodeon!"
