Jonny Brown headed off to the Scottish Athletics Throws Grand Prix series two with high hopes and in pleasant weather with Disability Sport Fife coach and father, David Brown by his side. When it came time for the seated throwers to compete at the end of the competition, the heavens opened and once again they had to throw in challenging conditions.
Despite the meteorological inconveniences Jonny threw a personal best in discus of 11.35 metres and narrowly missed out on a javelin PB when he threw 11.35 metres. Two fine performances by the F33 thrower from Fife who still remains our only local seated thrower.
Disability Sport Fife was assisted by REMAP and Scottish Athletics when Jonny’s throwing frame was being designed and manufactured. DSF now has two throwing frames located at Pitreavie Athletics Centre and Michael Woods Sports & Leisure Centre courtesy of Fife Sports and Leisure Trust. David Brown has become a skilled volunteer within the DSF track and field coaching team and Jonny continues to progress with every competition.
