Regan Millsap competing in Korea

Creemore native and Manitoulin Island resident Regan Millsap is competing at the 2013 Special Olympics World Winter Games next week in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

The daughter of Dean and Lorri Millsap and granddaughter of Glenn and Joyce Millsap of Creemore and Bill and Eleanor Swanton of Stayner will take part in the 100 metre, 200 metre and 4×400 metre relay snowshoe events.

Millsap is shown above during a visit to Creemore last spring, right after she won gold in the 200 metre event and bronze in the 100 metre event at the 2012 Special Olympics Canada Winter Games. At that point, her goal was to make the Canadian team and travel to Korea. According to her athlete profile on the Team Canada website, her goal is now to “win at least one gold.” Good luck Regan!
