Whitgift Fifth Form pupil, Stefan Amokwandoh (pictured), won Bronze in the U15 Triple Jump in the South England Athletics Association (SEAA) competition which took place at the Lee Valley Athletics Centre in north London in January. Stefan was very pleased with his first competition of the New Year and even more so when he won his event at the London U15/U17 Games with a new personal best of 13.44m. He has national and county indoor events to look forward to, in Birmingham and Sutton respectively, and is currently in training to defend his outdoor English Schools title which will take place in Gateshead in July.

Not content with just being an outstanding triple jumper, Stefan is also an all-round athlete: he was part of the Whitgift U15 rugby squad that got to the quarter-finals of the Daily Mail National Schools’ Rugby Cup last week and is an academy footballer at Charlton Athletic FC. He hopes to emulate the success of his role models, triple jumpers Phillips Idowu and Teddy Tamgho.
