Two medals and five top-ten finishes for Pentathlon GB at Milan Kadlec Memorial in Prague
Zoe Davison and University of Bath student Charlie Follett won silver and bronze medals during a successful visit to the Milan Kadlec Memorial junior competition in Prague for Pentathlon GB athletes.
It was a first career international medal for Davison and a second for Psychology student Follett, while Kerenza Bryson made it three Brits in the top ten in the women’s final as she came home seventh.
Holly Parker was 12th and Thompson Education Trust sporting scholar Sarah Collin 17th but the day was overshadowed by a nasty fall in the ride by Georgia Hannam, a Santander scholar.
The men’s final saw Biochemistry student Myles Pillage, supported by a Trendell scholarship, place sixth and Sports Performance student Bradley Sutton, a Santander scholar, cross the line in eighth. George Budden was 16th and Okan Onay finished 33rd on his junior international debut.

Rio 2016 Olympian Kate French, a Sports Performance graduate, is back in the women’s squad after taking a break following last year’s World Championships. She is joined by Samantha Murray, Jess Varley and Jo Muir.
The men’s competition will feature Jamie Cooke, Sam Curry and Mathematics student Joe Choong, who is an Ambassador for Team Bath partners MJ Church.
