SCHOOLGIRL Megan Sharp is flying high after claiming the British number one spot in the 200-metre butterfly class.
Megan, 11, of Woodstock Gardens, Wilthorpe, competed in the North East Regional Swimming Championships over the bank holiday weekend to secure a personal best of 2.42.68 and a bronze medal in the 11 to 12-year-old category, placing her as the top 11-year-old in the country in her chosen discipline.
Although she has been swimming since she was three, Megan has only been competing for two years and has already earned a clutch of medals.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
