Ollie Piper, 11, has qualified for the National Schools Trampolining final after two gruelling rounds of competition.
The Plymouth College Preparatory School pupil made it to the final after finishing second in the U11 boys elite semi-final held on the Isle of Wight, where he beat top trampolinists from all over the South of England. The final is being held in Stourbridge in March.
Ollie has only been trampolining for a year and is already a very successful springboard diver, competing and medalling on all three boards at last year's ASA National Age Group competition.
Plymouth College Preparatory School Headmaster, Chris Gatherer, said: "Ollie has achieved great things over the past few years in a number of sporting arenas. We are delighted to see him achieving such tremendous success with his trampolining whilst still setting himself high standards in other activities both inside and outside the classroom."
Dom Elsom, Phoenix and University of Plymouth Trampoline Club head coach, was "delighted and very proud" of his young prospect's progress.
