McConomy School

The McConomy school has recently divided into two branches, so we dedicated a few tweets to these amazing teachers...

- At the age of just 12, Brogan McKay has won 9 major titles including the Worlds, and has also won the Ulsters 3 times consecutively.

- The McConomy school is joint 7th on the all-time list of aolo World Champion-producing schools, with 18 titles. They are tied with Matthews, which is now closed, and Oirialla, which merged with Leonard to form the Ard-Rialla school (now Ard-Rialla-O'Donoghue).

- Their first World Champion was Joanne Kavanagh in 1997. Elizabeth's daughter Tara also won her first title later in the week. Joanne won 3 titles in all, as has Cyra Taylor. Rosetta's daughter Elan won 4 - the most a dancer from the school has won.

- 1 of McConomy's 18 titles went to a boy - Aidan McGinley, who won u21 in 2008. With 17 female World titles the school is 3rd in the girl's all-time league.

- The daughters of both McConomy sisters won World titles and are now TCRGs (Tara McConomy-Hegarty is an ADCRG). She won u21 in 1997, while cousin Elan McConomy-Bradley won four in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2003.
