Barracudas shine at UIPM World Champs
Massive congratulations to William Wiggans, and Tom and Lucie Jepson on their fantastic performances representing Great Britain at the UIPM World Championships in Madeira.
Competing on the world stage in events organised by the International Modern Pentathlon Union, all three did themselves, their families and Leyland Barracudas proud. Seeing three of our members competing at this level and achieving so much is wonderful to see. It just goes to show what hard work, commitment and dedication can achieve. Congratulations to them all!
WORLD CHAMPION!
William had a phenomenal championship, taking on an incredible 6 races in just 7 days across Biathle, Triathle and Laser Run. With top five finishes in every one, his outstanding achievements were:
WORLD CHAMPION – Laser Run Mixed Relay
GOLD – Triathle Team and Biathle Team
SILVER – Triathle Individual and Biathle Mixed Relay
BRONZE – Laser Run Team & Triathle Mixed Relay
TEAM GOLD FOR TOM!
Another fantastic performance from Club Captain, Tom, in the Biathle. He finished 4th in his age group, narrowly missing out on the podium but put that disappointment aside to help his team come home with Gold for the Biathle Team. Fantastic performance.
LUCIE – COMPETING WITH THE WORLD’S BEST
A fantastic achievement by Lucie taking on the best in the World in a very competitive field and coming away with an 11th place finish in the Biathle.
