Morgan Lake leads GB medal haul……………..

World junior champion Morgan Lake led the way on the final day as Britain equalled their best tally of European Junior Championships gold medals.

Lake, 18, cleared 1.91m to win the high jump in the Swedish city of Eskilstuna.

That added to Sunday golds for British senior champion Kyle Langford in the 800m, Bobby Clay in the 1500m and pole vaulter Adam Hague, as well as the women’s sprint and 4x400m relay teams.

Britain finished top of the medal table with 11 golds and six silvers.

Not since Thessaloniki in 1991 – when the winners included Darren Campbell and Donna Fraser – have the team won so many titles.

They have, however, finished two medals short of their record total of 19 from 2013.

World junior heptathlon champion Lake posted a winning mark five centimetres higher than that of nearest challenger Nawal Meniker of France to become the first British women to win the high jump.

And Hague was also the first British man to win the pole vault, the 17-year-old matching the 5.35m best of his nearest challenger – Finland’s Niko Koskinen – before clearing 5.40m, 5.45m and 5.50m at the first time of asking.

Langford posted a time of one minute 48.99 seconds to snatch gold by just one hundredth of a second from Russian favourite Konstantin Tolokonnikov as Britain dominated on the track.
