Mark Dry becomes the first Scot for 25 years to surpass 70m hammer throw
Hammer star Mark Dry has set his sights on Commonwealth Games gold after throwing a new personal best in London at the weekend.
The 21-year-old became the first Scot for 25 years to break the 70-metre marker when he launched a 70.81m throw in Hendon on Saturday.
Dry is now top of the British rankings ahead of English duo Andy Frost and Alex Smith and just third on the Commonwealth list after his exploits in Hendon.
Meanwhile, Susan McKelvie underlined her Commonwealth Games potential with a season’s best hammer throw of 61.21m.
UK 5000m champion Freya Murray won the 1500m in a season’s best of 4.19.10 minutes while 17-year-old Gregor MacLean set a new pole vault personal best of 4.70m.
