CARY, N.C. – Four-time national champion and Olympic medalist Nick McCrory will be the first diving inductee into the North Carolina Swimming Hall of Fame, as announced by the organization last month. The former Blue Devil standout joins Don Easterling, David Fox, Charlie Houchin and Lauren Perdue in the Class of 2017, with induction ceremonies slated for April 22 in Cary, N.C.
The North Carolina Swimming Hall of Fame was founded in 1985. Six inductions were held from 1985 through 1991, but the Hall of Fame went dormant for a long period afterwards, finally returning to action with inductions in April of 2016 after a 25-year hiatus.
