"I am very excited to come to HCC to grow as an adult and to push myself to be better in my individual events," Hopkins said. "I'm also excited to meet new people from around the world. My top achievements in this sport—going to Nationals three times and State twice—pushed me to want to be greater than the rest."

Welcome to the RedTail family, Zion!
