Tomas Andres Jones (born 3 February 1977) is a British former long-distance runner. He competed in the men's 10,000 metres at the 2000 Summer Olympics.[1]
Jones is from Aberaeron, where a local police constable spotted his talent and coached him.[2] He eventually commuted to train in Cardiff.[2]
Jones won the 5000 m and 10,000 m at the 2000 AAA Championships.[3] His winning time in the 10,000 m was the fourth-fastest ever by a Welshman, behind Steve Jones, Tony Simmons, and Ian Hamer.[2] Though the 2000 Olympics was Jones' first senior international appearance, he went on to compete at the 2001 European Cross Country Championships and the 2002 Commonwealth Games.[3]
