Ten-year-old Meghan Lynch, the gold medal-winning standout on the Greenwich YWCA Dolphins Swim Team, earned another first for the team.
On the heels of setting a new national record for the 100-yard breast stroke in the 10 and under age group a couple weeks ago, the Parkway School student is featured in the current Sports Illustrated magazine — a first for any YW Dolphin, according to Coach Nick Cavataro.
Meghan posted her first National Age Group Record of her young career, a 1:08.07 clocking in the 100-yard breast stroke in the 2014 United States Swimming Eastern Zone Short Course Swimming Championships held at Webster Aquatic Center in Webster, NY.

If Meghan keeps on this track, could we be seeing she in the Olympics in a few years? We hope so.
