Athletics: Loughborough Athletes medal at Euro Champs 2006

Athletics - 14/August/2006

Loughborough Sports Scholars Rhys Williams and Becky Lynne, and Loughborough graduates Nathan Douglas and Andy Turner all scored medals at the European Athletics Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Williams ran a tremendous final 100m to claim bronze in the 400m hurdles, and was also part of the silver medal winning 4 x 400m relay.

Lynne, who graduated in 2005, survived a shove from a fellow runner with 100m to go, but dug deep to claim bronze in the 800m final.

Douglas excelled in the triple jump, with a silver medal, and Turner achieved bronze in the 110m hurdles.
