Collyers student Ben heading to the World Championships
HORSHAM teenager Ben West has qualified for the GB Freestyle Kayak team for this summer's World Championships in Switzerland.
The 18-year-old Collyers student blew the competition out of the water to win a recent qualifying tournament to book his place in the three-man team.
Looking ahead at September's competition, the Forest Canoe Club member said: "For us it's the biggest event in our sport and I'd like to think I could do well, I've got plenty of time to train for it to give me a definite chance of achieving something."
