Wallasey Athletic Club's Chris Preston seems to edge nearer to international standard with every competition he competes in these days.
Hammer-throws in the last week have seen him smash his own and the club's record on two occasions. He is now ranked as the third junior in the UK.
Last Saturday Chris finished first in the British Hammer Circle re-union's junior sector with a throw of 156 ft. 7in. The following day he won another first in a junior competition with a 160ft. throw.
