BRISTOL & West AC higher claim athlete Tom Gale finished eighth against a top class field in Cologne, Germany, last night.
The junior international high jumper from Trowbridge (pictured left) cleared 2.12m in his second competition of the year to finish around half-way in the 15-strong field.
“It was an incredible experience jumping with all the older guys,” said Gale.
“While I was slightly disappointed with my performance I’ve got a long time to fix a few technical issues which will hopefully be the key to getting me over 2.20m.”
Gale had three close attempts at a personal best indoors of 2.16m before bowing out of the competition.
