ATHLETICSNICK Percy has got his athletics season off to a flying start — by setting three new IW records.
Wightlink-sponsored Nick, 17, of Bonchurch, broke the IW discus record for his age group twice, when he threw 52.46m at a competition in Peterborough, placing him top of the UK leaderboard, and he broke the record in warm-up as well, throwing over 55 metres.
He also set another IW record, and rose to third in the UK rankings, in shot putt. At a competition in Eton, he threw a solid 14.82m.
He is now coached in London two to three times a week by a national throws coach, who is currently reconstructing his technique to accommodate the heavier implements he now has to throw as an under-20 athlete.
