Ben Kent qualified for Team GB in the Under 20s category of the competition being in Chicago after recording a fourth place finish at the Deva Triathlon in Chester.
The 18-year-old from Scorrier developed his interest in the sport after being part of the college's Health, Wellbeing and Sport programme.

Kent needs to finance the trip himself and anyone interested in sponsoring him should email benckent@btinternet.com.
