Cambuslang Harriers athlete Kirsty O’Brien has qualified for the World Triathlon Championships final later this season after a fine performance at the World Triathlon Sprint event in Germany.
By finishing ninth W40 overall and second British athlete, O’Brien achieved automatic qualification for the event in Pontevedra, Spain, in September.
The following week, O’Brien scored a convincing W40 win at the Scottish National Aquathlon Championships at Balloch Castle country Park, which involved a 750km swim in Loch Lomond and a 5k run.
Zach Seenan also took part in the Aquathlon Championships, and as the athletes emerged from the swim, the debut season athlete was in 13th place, sliced through the competition to finish second-fastest, winning the overall silver medal and the under-20 gold.
