Joe Evans is European Youth Champion
Whitchurch
Wasps Swimmer Joe Evans has been crowned
European Youth Champion at the Modern Pentathlon Event held in Hungary
this month.
Joe
competed well in all events, coming joint second in the fencing and narrowly
missing out on the top spot in the swimming by finishing the 200m race in
2:00.79 which was just 9 1/100ths of a second behind Andy Genard of France. Joe
was 10th in combined event giving him an excellent total of 4556
which was 116 points clear of the Lithuanian competitor in second place.
In
addition Joe’s performances put the boys team in second place overall and for
the swimming relay. So it was a very impressive gold and 2 silvers that Joe
brought to training this week before packing again to compete in the World
Championships in Istanbul.
Congratulations
to Joe for a fantastic result and good luck in Turkey!
