Biography
McKeehan became the fourth Indiana girl to become a four-time state champion in two different events. She set a national record for the second straight year in the 200 individual medley and also won her fourth title in the 100 breaststroke. She won the individual medley last season in 1:58.06, a national record that stood six days before Mary Beck of Austin Westlake High swam 1:57.74 and 1:57.41 on back-to-back days at the Texas state meet.
This year McKeehan swam 1:56.87 to reclaim the record. She won the breaststroke in 1:00.12 to break her own state record (1:00.23) set last year, and that time was just .52 seconds off the national record. McKeehan, who won the breaststroke in the Pan-American Games last summer, will join last year’s Senior Athlete of the Year, Lauren English of Montville (N.J.) High, at the University of Georgia next fall.
While attending the University of Georgia McKeehan was a four time NCAA Qualifier. She placed 6th in the 100 yard breaststroke in 2011.
In 2011 McKeehan took Bronze at the Pan Am Games held in Guadalajara.
