HARRIERS HAMMER THROWERS by Rob Earle

Hammer throwers, Billy Pram Singh and James Hamblin produced excellent performances over the weekend of 1st & 2nd June.

Competing at the South of England U20 and Senior Championships in Bedford on Sunday 2nd, Billy, contested for the first time since an unfortunate knee injury, and following six weeks of focused rehab, produced one of his best national standard performances to claim a silver medal. He placed second with a best of 54.08 m and a put together a series of throws which indicate that a PB is on the cards in the coming weeks. He also has an England U23 championships top five position to focus on during June.

Competing overseas on Saturday the 1st June, a resurgent James Hamblin produced a season’s best of 57.90 m and a win at the SATT meeting in Winnipeg MB, Canada. James now has clear targets for the remainder of the season, one of which is to challenge his club record of 59.03 m set in 2015.
