The Lucknow Sentinel, 1988-03-23, Page 11Local boy takes gold at Guelph Pentathalon Jean-Paul Greenwood, of RR5 Lucknow, took a gold medal in the sport of Modern Pentathalon at a meet held in Guelph on March 19-20. Jean -Paul's althetic ability in horesback riding, fencing, swimming, shooting and cross-country running netted him 4,598 points out of a possible 5,000 to earn to in- terclub award. The five -event weekend was an introduc- tion to fencing for the 13 -year-old Jean- Paul and his 10 -year-old brother Joel. Both boys were quite competitive for their age group and were able to duel with com- petitors older then themselves. Jean-Paul rode a perfect round in jump riding even while using a strange horse at Campbellville. The swimming competition held Sunday found him at the Centennial Pool in Guelph. Here Jean-Paul captured top spot with a score of 985 out of a possible 1,000. The youngster has been training for two years with the Kincardine Kippers swim team. The fourth event of the weekend was the pistol -shoot. As a junior competitor, Jean- Paul used ,an air pistol to shoot at the sta- tionary targets and again placed very high in the field. Cross-country running, the final event of the competition, was held over a flat course under severe weather conditions. Despite this, Greenwood's enthusiasm was undampened as he came very close to lap- ping the senior competitor who had started minutes ahead of him on the course. Coaching for the weekend included Miro Beran, a former international athlete from Czechoslovakia, as well as Ulnar Vaikla, a former Russian team pentathlete, and Janice Bolton from National Fitness In- stitute of Toronto. Riding phases were organized by Sharon Pass and Jane Casteman of Touch and Go Stables who provided the horses for the event. Jean-Paul Greenwood, who is a Grade Seven student at the Ripley District School, previouslt won a silver medal in the -Canadian Pony Club's Tricathalon held last spring. As well, he and his mare Lightning won second place in the Novice Tricathalon held at the Mohawk Raceway last May. The Lucknow and District Sports Complex Fund received a $1,500 boosts this week as Joe Dunsmore, a sales representative for Molsons Breweries Ltd, was in town to make a cheque presentation to treasurer Rod McDonagh. The fund raising efforts of the Sports Complex also got help this week as the proceeds from the Kinsmen Annual Skate-a-thon were donated to the cause.
