SYCERIKA MCMAHON WAS the star of the show as she won three more national titles on the final day of the Irish Short Course Championships, taking her total to a super eight for the weekend.

The Portaferry teenager, who was unsurprisingly named Swimmer of the Meet, clinched gold in the 400m individual medley final before edging out Bethany Carson in the 200m freestyle final.

McMahon, 17, then capped a fine championships with another new Irish record, knocking Fiona Doyle’s 200m breaststroke time from the books as she won gold in 2:25.23.

It is the second straight year that McMahon has won eight national titles at the short course championships, held in Lisburn.

Tallaght’s Brendan Hyland added another Irish junior record to his growing collection, winning 400m individual medley gold in 4:20.43, more than 11 seconds faster than silver medallist Sean O’Brien.

Brendan Gibbons set a new Irish junior record in the 800m freestyle final (8:11.00) while in the women’s 50m butterfly final, Shauna O’Brien broke Julie Douglas’s eight-year-old record when she took gold in 27.30 ahead of Kilkenny’s Jane Roberts.
