A Crewe & Nantwich athlete has secured an amazing triple gold success in the Scottish Athletics Championships.
Fraser Ashman won his golden hat-trick golds in the discus, shot and javelin at the event in Aberdeen.
He came away with a brilliant first place in the discus, shot and javelin in the U15-19 competitions.
He threw 13.79 metres in the shot to win gold by 7 cm from Rotherham Harriers athlete Leo Rowley.
Fraser, who has just finished studying at Sandbach School, followed that up with a fine discus throw of 43.43m, beating his nearest rival for gold by more than eight metres.
He clinched the hat-trick in the javelin, when he launched it 45.54m, with a winning margin of two metres 41cm.
Fraser, who trains at Crewe & Nantwich’s base at the Cumberland sports arena in Crewe, told Nantwichnews: “I’m very pleased I managed to win all three of the events that I entered, and it was a great way to end the season.
“I have won triple golds at the Cheshire championships, but never a national championships!”
The 18-year-old is about to start a sports science degree at Bangor University in Wales in September.
A spokesman for Crewe & Nantwich Athletics Club said: “It is a truly remarkable set of performances!”
And a spokesman for Scottish Athletics said: “This is a pretty rare feat, so a great achievement.”
