RYAN SPENCER-JONES AIMS FOR COMMONWEALTH GLORY

Welsh Shot putter Ryan Spencer-Jones made his intentions for the Delhi games clear as he threw a new personal best and Commonwealth Games qualifying mark of 17.92m at the UWIC Inter-University match on Sunday 7th March. The measure handsomely beat the qualifying criteria, set at 17.75m, and is testimony to the state of form of Spencer-Jones, who has now improved his personal best from 2009 (16.79m) on three occasions indoors in 2010 – 17.32m in January, 17.57m in February and now 17.92m in March.

Ryan is coached by Welsh Javelin record holder Nigel Bevan, who also coaches Discus champion Brett Morse. Bevan represented Great Britain at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, and competed for Wales at the 1990 and 1994 Commonwealth Games.
