What a truly AMAZING performance from Samuel James on Saturday 11th July. GOLD in an U18 World best of 2.25m - adding 16 cm to his official PB - breaking a 36 year old record and showing every high jumper (young and elite) how to perform when it is needed. Such a cool, collected and assured performance - BIG congratulations to both Samuel and his coach James Wild.
A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who made such an amazing day happen in such challenging conditions. To athletes, coaches, spectators and helpers - it was the best BIG day I can remember! More details to follow very soon.
