Ollie shoots to the top in tetrathlon

Published: 24 May, 2011

Talented Plymouth College Preparatory School pupil, Ollie Piper, 11, has topped the podium in his first ever tetrathlon event. 

Ollie claimed the champion's title at GB Yorkshire Spring Tetrathlon after a series of impressive performances in the fencing, shooting, swimming and running event.  As well as scoring the most points across all four disciplines, Ollie won the individual award for the top shoot.

The tetrathlon win comes close on the heels of a top five placing at the National Schools Trampolining Championships.  Ollie came through two gruelling rounds to qualify for the national final as South of England Champion.

Plymouth College Director of Modern Pentathlon, Andy Hill, is Ollie's shooting coach.  "Winning a tetrathlon on his first attempt is an outstanding result", said Andy.  "Ollie's natural sporting ability and gift for picking things up really quickly are a winning combination and I'm sure we will see many more great achievements from him in the future."
