Callum Morgan and Nick Griggs
Nick Griggs produced the run of his season to finish in a very creditable sixth place in the men’s 5000m final at the Scotstoun Stadium.
Griggs, 21, was with the front group for the entire race and when the sprint opened up on the last lap, he just couldn’t quite stay with the pace.

His time of 13:25.84 was just 0.9 of a second outside a podium position but Griggs underlined his potential for future success at senior championships.
Northern Ireland team mate Callum Morgan was 15th in 13:39.02.
The gold medal went to Matthew Kipsang from Kenya.
