GOLDEN: Stefan Amokwandoh
The 15-year-old won U15 gold at the English Schools Championships last summer, with very little actual tuition on triple jump beforehand, with a leap of 12.93.
Now, the teenager's best is 13.44 and he is ranked seventh in the UK already at U17 level, with many of his rivals a year older than him.
