Melisa Crook has set the standard for Southwestern Community College's dance team.

Crook is the head coach of the Southwestern Dazzlers, an athletic program still in its infancy but growing steadily everyday.

Crook, originally from Indianola, attended Simpson College where she was part of the drill team and captained the team for a year, and taught dance and tumbling. She received her degree in social work, but has maintained her interest in athletics.
