Hopkin did not disappoint, posting two new pool records in the 50 free (21.58) and shortly after in the 100 free (47.40). The senior has had a stellar career as a Razorback, breaking four individual school records a total of 15 times along with being a part of three school record relays that have been broken seven times.

Fellow seniors Carly Holland (200 fly) and Sarah Dalton Chambliss (100 fly) also took home individual titles. The three seniors finished off the day by sweeping the final relay of the meet together.

It was a great day on the diving side of things as Estilla Mosena had a NCAA zone qualifying score for both her 1-meter and 3-meter, alongside freshman Josephine Matalone, who tallied up a score of 288 on her 3-meter to also post a NCAA zone qualifying score.

Arkansas Head Coach Neil Harper

“It was a great day for all three of our seniors. They all stepped up, performed well and made some lasting memories on a great senior day! It was very fitting that Anna, Dalton and Carly were on the final winning relay together to finish the meet in style. Anna was amazing in the 50 and 100 today. She broke the pool records which are all from previous SEC and NCAA Championships. The team has been practicing well and we are all focused on our final three meets heading into the SEC Championships.”
