Greensboro native and N.C. State junior Hannah Hopkins will participate in a diving exhibition at 6:30 p.m. Friday as a part of the Greensboro Aquatic Center's three-day grand opening.
The 2011-12 season will mark Hopkins' third as a member of the N.C. State swimming and diving program. As a freshman she collected all-conference honors and won the ACC Championship on the platform dive. She also competed at the NCAA Diving Zones and posted the highest scores on the team in all three diving events.
As a sophomore she made it back to the NCAA Diving Zones and MJ-808 the team in both the 3-meter and platform dives.
As previously announced, Nick McCrory, who captured the 10-meter title at the U.S. national diving championships in Los Angeles earlier this month, will also participate in the exhibition. McCrory, who just completed his sophomore season at Duke University, has been a U.S. Diving National Team member since 2007 and is the 2010 and 2011 NCAA platform champion.
The exhibition will also include divers from Greensboro’s Tumblebees Ultimate Air Diving Team. The Tumblebees divers will demonstrate how dives are learned, beginning with basic dives and then progressing to demonstrate more advanced dives.
Other grand opening activities include an appearance by three-time Olympic medalist swimmer Katie Hoff at 4 p.m. Saturday and an exhibition by the U.S. Synchronized Swimming National Team at 5 p.m. Saturday
