Synchronized diving duo Kassidy Cook and Sarah Bacon are joining Team Pork, the Minnesota Pork Board says. Cook and Bacon are nationally recognized divers who train in Minneapolis, Minn.
“As new members of Team Pork, the athletes will engage in social media, a community food bank donation, and in-person appearances on behalf of Minnesota Pork,” the organization said in a release. “Cook and Bacon will promote pork as a healthy protein source suitable to fit any diet.”
Along with Minnesota’s pig farmers, Cook and Bacon say they care about fueling people with nutritious foods while building strong communities.
“The duo is not only diving partners, but also have been friends since they were 10 years old. Cook and Bacon credit their success to having a strong friendship both in and out of the pool,” Minnesota Pork Board says in a release.
Bacon, a former Minnesota Gopher diver, found her passion for the sport at the age of 8 years old. Cook, a former diver at Stanford University, began diving at the age of 4.
