Jacob Fincham-Dukes

Jacob has consistently been one of the best long jumpers in the country since joining Leeds City at the age of 13. Having regularly represented Great Britain through the age groups (including European U/20 silver medallist;( and following a spell training and studying at Oklahoma State University, he is now a full senior international. A hugely impressive 2022 European Championships in Munich saw Jacob place fifth, narrowly missing out on a medal when a successful French protest resulted in one of his jumps being retrospectively ruled as a foul.
