Olympic star Greg Louganis will speak to area divers at Duke

 

Triangle divers and their coaches and fans have the chance to meet one of competitive diving's legends this weekend. 
 
Greg Louganis, a double gold-medalist at the 1984 and 1988 Olympics, is visiting the Duke University campus in Durham for three days as part of an athlete mentor program conducted by USA Diving. 

Duke to host public session with Greg Louganis

Duke will host a club day beginning at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday (July 2) at the Blue Devil dry land practice facility, where Olympic champion Greg Louganis will talk with local divers, coaches and fans.

Two signings at East Chapel Hill

East Chapel Hill diver Nick McCrory will sign a national letter of intent Wednesday to attend Duke, according to East Athletic Director Ray Hartsfield. McCrory will sign along with ECH baseball player James Heine, who has an NLI to attend Georgetown.
McCrory's decision isn't surprising. He represented Duke Aquatics at last spring's Olympic Trials. McCrory is the nation’s best high school diver and has broken the N.C. High School Athletic Association record three years in a row.
Heine is top all-around athlete at East Chapel Hill. He was a three-letter man — football, basketball and baseball — before deciding to concentrate on his pitching for the Wildcats last season.
