A MOTHER and son from Wark both earned national triathlon medals after fantastic performances.

Sean Wylie was second in the U20 race at the British Sprint Triathlon Championships in Buckinghamshire, with mother Angela third in the female 50-54 age category.

Representing RedVenom, Loughborough University student Sean was on top form in a very competitive field, his swim the highlight as he exited the water in the lead.

He backed it up with both a good cycle and run, claiming second in a time just over an hour.

One Life Racing representative Angela also caught the eye, putting in good performances across all three disciplines for a finishing time of 1:19.04.

It was a great warm-up event for her as she and fellow One Lifers Charlie and Hannah Pinkney, and Jan Oliver, prepare to head off to the upcoming European championships in Lisbon, Portugal.
