Peter Robin Brunyee (1939-2014), was a male athlete who competed for England in the high hurdles.
Brunyee was a prodigious schoolboy hurdler and won the intermediate boys England Schools 110y title (14.1s) in 1955. A year later he won the senior boys 120y hurdles title at Shrewsbury with a championship record of 14.9s. After leaving school he further improved his best junior time to 14.6s, which until recently was still listed in the UK all-time junior lists. He represented England in the 120 yards hurdles at the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Cardiff, Wales.[1] [2] He was the first Worksop Harrier athlete to represent England.[3]
