A 17-year-old boy from Grimsby is marking an incredible milestone after it was announced that he has been selected to represent England at the 2025 Senior European Karate Championships.
William Jervis, who currently studies at the Grimsby Institute, will compete in the Para ‘Kata’ category in Armenia this May. Just one athlete from England is chosen for this honour each year.
William said: “I am so proud of myself for being selected to represent England. I can’t wait to go to the Senior European Championships, and I’m going to smash it out of the park!”
Sally Wright, Inclusion Manager at the Grimsby Institute, said: “The Grimsby Institute is immensely proud of William and wishes him the best of luck on the international stage. We are confident that he will make both the Grimsby Institute and the country proud.”
