AN inspiring Dunfermline youngster is on track for athletics success after being highlighted as one of Fife's most promising athletes.

Cameron Adam has been tipped to fulfil the promise he has shown since taking up sprinting, throws and jumps with Disability Sport Fife after making significant progress since securing national classification in 2015.

Talented Cameron, who trains with Dunfermline Track and Field Club, competes in the class for athletes with cerebral palsy at under-13 level and his impairment impacts on his left arm and leg.

His disability however has not stopped him hurdling, sprinting or jumping effectively as, in the long jump, he has a current GB ranking of six, and has managed a 100 metres ranking as high as 14 during the past two seasons.

Since being granted his national classification by Scottish Athletics, Cameron hasn't looked back.

Having ran 13.2 seconds for 60 metres at the 2015 Scottish Junior Championships, he returned last year to record a PB of 12.3, and improved his 100m time of 21.7 by 0.2 seconds.

In September, he recorded a PB for 100m of 19.9, demonstrating that his training with both DSF and his club has been paying off.

Richard Brickley, DSF president, said: "Cameron is strong, dynamic, focussed and very determined. Cameron's shot and long jump have also shown steady improvement and, throughout the 2017 season, this very talented youngster will be chipping away at his personal best times and distances and fulfilling the promise he has demonstrated from the first day he became involved with Disability Sport Fife.

"Cameron’s mum is now club coaching and has signed up with DSF as a coach/volunteer. Both Cameron’s parents attended a Sports Coach UK workshop put on by DSF and as with so many talented young people, his mum and dad are behind him all the way. Junior athletics has never been stronger in Fife and Cameron Adam is one of the most promising athletes competing in 2017."
