| District 1 Resident (and BAS 6th Grader) Megan Corcoran won 5 First Place Finishes in a recent regional competition |
Huntsville,
AL- BAS sixth grader, Megan Corcoran, dominated the 2018 Southeastern Swimming
Short Course Championship meet last weekend. Corcoran, 12, brought home five
first place finishes and earned the title of “Overall Champion” in her age
group. She did not stop there. Along the way, Megan picked up six new personal
best times, a new team record for the 500 Freestyle, and a place in the top 20
national ranking.
Megan
is a member of the Greater Pensacola Aquatic Club (GPAC). She trains for two
hours a day, six days per week. Summers off? No way! GPAC swimmers train for
three hours a day, six days per week during the summer. Megan joined GPAC in
June of 2017. She was paired up with BAS seventh grader, Sara Lypko. It has
certainly been a good match as the girls became friends and training partners.

| Beulah Resident Megan Corcoran won 5 First Place finishes in her recent competition in Huntsville, AL |
Megan
began swimming at the age of six. By age 10, she was dominating her age group
and taking home state titles. Megan currently holds two Louisiana state
records.
Outside
of the pool, Megan is a typical 12 year old girl. She is an honor roll student.
Her teachers describe her as “delightful,” “ conscientious,” and “just a
pleasure.” Despite being a fierce athlete in the pool, she has a wonderful
disposition and is very humble. Megan enjoys sleepovers, scary movies, and
making slime with her girlfriends.
Megan
will compete at a regional level again in mid-March at Georgia Tech in Atlanta. Best of luck Megan!!
