Benson third in Quarteria

Published:

Gordon Benson produced a podium finish in his first triathlon of the season this weekend in Portugal. Racing at the Quarteria ETU Triathlon European Cup, the Leeds based 19 year-old finished third and was one of four British men in the top ten.

Benson was pleased with third place as he makes the transition from junior to senior racing. He was fifth at the ITU World Junior Championships last September, but has achieved podium finishes at both senior events that he has taken part in.

Aaron Harris, Morgan Davies and Liam Lloyd all finished within the top ten, making it a successful day for British triathletes.

In the women’s event Holly Lawrence was the top British finisher in seventh. Full results, including the ETU Junior Europen Cup event are below.
