Kimberley Reed won silver in the Hammer at the Commonwealth Youth Games on Sunday.
Her first and best throw of 54.22 metres was beaten by rival Louisa James's 58.10m in the second round.
'I think she's quite pleased ... but still a little disappointed,' commented her father Scott Reed afterwards. 'It was a bit of a tall order to expect her to beat the reigning World Champion, who was in top form and set a new personal best which ranks her third in the world this year.'
Whilst the competitive and ambitious Ms Reed may only be quite pleased, the rest of us in Broughton are hugely proud and full of admiration. We wish her the very best.
