HANNAH Procter showed off her all-round skills after finishing in second place in the British Modern Tetrathlon Championships – her best ever result on the national stage.

The 13-year-old and Ribble Valley Modern Pentathlon team-mate Oliver Murray travelled to Solihull for the one-day competition, competing in shooting, swimming, fencing – and a combined run and shoot discipline.

In only her third tetrathlon, Hannah had a solid start, shooting 80 points for third place and then swimming 1min 5secs in 100m freestyle for second place.

Next up was the fencing where Hannah had to fence against all the other 23 competitors in a single hit wins competition.

As a relative newcomer to the sport compared to some of her rivals, Hannah had a good start winning trhee of her first five bouts.

She then showed how much she has progressed by winning 11 straight bouts and finished with 19 wins out of 23 for another second place – and in first place overall going in to combined run/shoot.

She made a solid start to the final event getting all five targets down and running 800m.

However, she then struggled with the second set of targets and another girl overtook her, leaving Hannah in secod place at the end – her best ever showing at a National competition.

Oliver, 15, the younger brother of Sam Murray – the reigning world modern pentathlon champion and silver medal winner from London 2012 – also had a good completion with fifth place in the fence, 10th in the swim and seventh place in the combined run/shoot for sixth place overall.

The club was then well represented at the North West Biathlon Championships with all athletes completing a swim and a run with distances varying by age group.

Ribble Valley fielded 16 competitors including three teams and came away with a haul that included six team and indivdual gold medals. Jack Stanley won gold in the U14s boys competition with Harvey Griffin in fourth and Elliot Norman in eight good enough to win the team event event.

In the U15s boys, Harry Pilkington also gold and Joseph Murray Silver but unfortunately they didn’t have a third team member for almost certain gold.

Harry Wood won silver in the U12s boys and Alasdair Moir was eight in the U13s boys.

There was more success in the U16s boys as the combined efforts of Tom Entwistle (second), Joseph Murray (fourth) and Adam Stansfield (fifth) was good enough to win team gold.
