Carys Parry
Carys Parry (born 24 July 1981) is a Welsh hammer thrower.
Parry was born in Church Village, Rhondda Cynon Taf. She finished sixth at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne with a personal best throw of 61.80 metres.
Her current personal best throw is 66.31 metres, achieved in June 2008 in Birmingham.
