Shaunagh Brown has won the bronze medal in the Discus while representing England at the Commonwealth Youth Games at Pune in India.

The Blackheath & Bromley athlete will not have been pleased with her distance of 42.96 but it has been a very long season for the John Hillier coaches athlete and she would have had to have thrown another five and a half metres to have won bronze.

She nearly picked up a bronze in the shot as well but had to settle for 4th with a putt of 14.07, 17 centimetres away from a medal. The winning throw was 15.02.

One of the Club’s other talented throwers has also been in action at the Hammer Circle Reunion in Hull. Andrew Jordon, who was the number one under 17 in the country this year, won both the under 17 and under 20 Hammer competitions with throws of 62.40 and 57.58.

Meanwhile, in Switzerland, Chelsea O'Rawe Hobbs was in action at the Giornate Internazionali Della Marcia meeting at Chiasso. She finished in 8th place in the 10km in a time of 54.54. This is the second quickest time by a British woman this year and all the more notable as she is still an under 20 athlete.
