She's all of 24 years old, but Morgan Lake has already been setting major records in high jump and heptathlon for over a decade. Hailing from Milton Keynes, Lake won her first national title at age 11 (now holding 38 of them) and has broken four high-jump records. It's a family affair for Lake — her father, a title-holding track and field athlete himself, first introduced her to the sport at age 5 and coached her himself until she left for the Rio Olympics at age 18. We'll be cheering on the telly as Lake goes for gold in high jump this go-around in Tokyo.
