Woodham Academy student Jake Mendelsohn (12) competed in his first biathlon entering the under 14 boys category at the Yorkshire Biathlon on Sunday 4th October in a field of 11.
The Biathlon involved a 1600 metres run and a 100 metre swim. Jake, who also plays for Sedgefield Water Polo club, won the event and will hopefully now go on to compete in the National Biathlon Championship and also the Schools’ Biathlon Championship.
