Fife Para athlete turns in fine performance in Manchester

On Saturday evening Owen Miller from Dunfermline and Fife AC ran 3.59.73 in Manchester for 1500 metres and improved on his run of two weeks ago. Owen is returning from injury and coach Steve Doig was pleased with how he had performed. This run was intended to prepare Owen for the International Meet next Wednesday when he competes for Scottish Athletics.

Early indications are that it will be a stellar line up in Manchester next Wednesday. Stephen Morris, James Hamilton and Michael Brannigan the T20 world champion are on the start line. Owen has competed against Stephen and James on numerous occasions and Wednesday will be an ideal test in the run up to IPC World Athletics Championships consideration.

All the very best Owen and congratulations on how far you have come under the guidance of Steve, not to mention the immense support you have received from your family.
