    Forest Hills Northern senior diver Abby Koops admits she initially didn’t have much of a chance to win at states this year, however, in the last two weeks her odds have greatly improved

    I’m not sure who all dropped from our conference in D1 but I think there is a possibility I got a lot better than expected,” says Koops.

    While the MHSAA doesn’t have the numbers, sources say a significant amount of swimmers and divers across the state have dropped out of this year’s championship event. In West Michigan for example, the entire East Grand Rapids swimming and diving team decided to opt-out, a major loss considering they’re one of the perennial powers of the area.

    A New Zealand woman swimming in the sea 153 km southeast of Auckland has died after a suspected shark attack.

    According to the police on Friday, the fatal water incident occurred at Waihi Beach, a popular tourist spot about two hours’ drive from Auckland, a major city in the north of New Zealand’s North Island, late on Thursday.

    “Emergency services were called about 5:10 pm after reports of a woman being injured in the water. Initial indications suggest she may have been injured by a shark,” said a police statement.

    “Sadly, she died at the scene a short time later,” it said, adding the death has been referred to the coroner.
