ST. CHARLES – Meagan Popp’s vast potential is coming to the surface.

Only a few weeks into her high school swimming career, the St. Charles North freshman is the proud owner of a new program record, set in the 200 individual medley during Thursday’s crosstown meet against visiting St. Charles East.

Popp finished in 2:05.42, about half a second quicker than the previous North mark set by current University of Michigan swimmer Angie Chokran. Fittingly, Chokran is the swimmer who energized Popp about the program.
