ABINGDON’S Jack Shayler came a superb second when competing in the European Triathlon Union Championships at Strathclyde near Glasgow.

After the 750m swim, 20k bike ride and 5k run, Shayler won gold in the under 20 age group and recorded the second fastest time overall of 1hr 3min 30secs.

He is now looking forward to competing in next year’s world championship in Lausanne, Switzerland, for which he has already qualified.

Elsewhere, Abingdon’s Olivia Martin continued her fine form with fourth place in the under 15 1500m at the SEAA Southern junior meeting at Lea Valley
