Background

Jonathan (Jonny) is a versatile athlete on all surfaces but his forte is without doubt the 3000m steeplechase. Now 26, he is already targeting selection for the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020.

2017 was arguably his best year to date, during which he improved his best times over 1500m and the 3000m steeplechase. His 8:34.03 at the latter met the ‘A’ standard for Team Wales, securing his ticket to this year’s Commonwealth Games. At that event he finished a creditable 6th in 8:34.12.

In October, Jonny was selected to represent Wales at the inaugural Commonwealth Half Marathon Championships in Cardiff. On the day he clocked an impressive 65:20, a new best time by over three minutes.
