Athlete Will Langridge is celebrating after winning a silver medal at the UK Athletics Under 15 and Under 17 Championships.
Under 15 Will joined the Wimborne Athletic Club as a long jumper but after careful coaching, horizontal jumps specialist Lorraine Winton pointed him in the direction of the triple jump.
The result was that in his first season in the event in early August, Will became national event leader with an impressive 12m92 jump, breaking the South West League record.
The UK Championships last month in Bedford were a tougher prospect and despite recording a jump of 12m84 he had to give ground to the eventual winner, Melchisec Berkel-Gynfi from Basildon who jumped 13m20.
Will’s silver medal has helped offset his disappointment in missing a bronze at the English Schools Championships on countback in July.
