Talented 1 st Year Makes Irish Swim Squad
First year MCC student Aoife Doran has
been specially selected to take part in a
regional development squad for the Irish
Swim Team. Effectively, this will give
Aoife the very best shot at being picked
to represent Ireland in the 2024
Olympics in Paris, France.
The ambitious programme aims to enter
4 young Irish females as a relay team to
the 2024 Olympics. Interestingly, this
will be the first Irish entry since the 1972
Olympics in Munich, Germany.
There are only 3 hubs of 12 swimmers
based around Ireland and athletes will
have to maintain high standards to stay
in the squad. As well as being in the
Leinster Regional development squad,
Aoife trains hard 7 times a week and
could also be called up to the Swim
Ireland International team shortly.
On Sunday 13 th October, Aoife
successfully competed in the Senior
Schools gala for Maynooth Post
Primary. We wish Aoife and the Doran
family the very best of luck with her
swimming career.
