Hooch's Williams Signs to Dive at Georgia Tech

Chattahoochee High School’s Kayla Williams has signed a National Letter of Intent to dive at Georgia Tech, where she plans to major in business. Georgia Tech is an NCAA Division I school that competes in the ACC.

Williams, a Level 9 competitive gymnast for 13 years, turned to diving after four back fractures ended her gymnastics career. She began diving with the Atlanta Diving Association under coach Grant Segal her junior year and placed 11th at her first Georgia High School State Meet. Her senior year saw great improvement, with a first-place finish at the Fulton County Championships and a sixth-place finish at the state meet.

Williams participated in varsity gymnastics, cheerleading and diving while at Chattahoochee, lettering in all three sports. Williams, the first diver from Chattahoochee to receive a scholarship to dive at the collegiate level, was also involved in leadership with FCA, Class Council and is an honor roll student.
