Braintree and District Athletic Club’s Ryan Morgan continued his progress as an up-and-coming UK triple jumper by taking the under-17 men’s bronze medal at the South of England Indoor Championships at Lee Valley.

This success was accomplished with a new indoor personal best jump of 12.25 metres in only his first outing as an under-17 competitor.

Morgan, who has another year after the current season in this age group, opened with two no jumps but kept his cool to qualify for the final on his third jump.

No jumps were again a problem in the final but his qualifying leap enabled him to take third place in the final positions.
