LAST week the news broke that St Michael’s College student, Frank Buchanan, had been selected for the Northern Ireland team competing at the Commonwealth Youth Games in Trinadad and Tobago in early August.
The 16-year-old secured one of five track and field spots up for grabs and will run in the 1500m event at the games.
Frank’s mother Michelle was delighted with her son’s inclusion in the team;

“It doesn’t happen overnight, but he is just delighted to achieve something that would have been on the wish list for a long time,” she added.
