Menomonee Falls Native Getting Ready for Olympic Trials

MENOMONEE FALLS - Recent University of Purdue graduate Nate Cox, a native of Menomonee Falls, is getting ready for the Olympic trials in diving.

“I mean in order to get to top two it's going to take a heck of a lot of work,” Cox explained to TMJ 4. “It'll take the best diving of my life by far to make the top two would be absolutely incredible, and I think I have that type of diving within me.”

According to the WTMJ 4 report, the best has yet to come for Cox who found success late in diving in high school and in college. Nate didn't start diving until he was a freshman at Menomonee Falls High School. One year later, he was a state champ in the one meter spring board and then again his senior year. And now Cox has a chance to prove he deserves to be in Rio on the 10 meter platform.
