Texas (hopefully not) Forever: McMahon takes up coveted US scholarship

The Co. Down Olympian will be studying in Texas A&M next semester.

SYCERIKA MCMAHON, IRISH swimming champion over multiple distances, yesterday announced that she had accepted a university scholarship in the USA.

McMahon will study, train and compete under the banner of Texas A&M, a school renowned for its athletic programme.

The 17-year-old Down athlete produced some promising displays at London 2012 and continued her dominance of the Irish circuit at this weekend’s national championships.

McMahon managed second place behind Hungary’s world champion Katinka Hosszu in today’s women’s 200 m individual medley, but that silver was her sixth national title of the weekend, adding to her status as Ireland’s leader over 100m, 200m and 400m freestyle; 200m butterfly and 400 IM.
