Athletics: Child selected for Britain
The Scottish 400 metres hurdles record-holder joins Glasgow's Lee McConnell (400 metres, 4x400 relay), Steph Twell (Aldershot) (1500m) and marathon runners Martin Williams (Tipton) and Susan Partridge (Glasgow).
Birmingham-based Williams is the only Scots male athlete in the team. Andrew Lemoncello (Fife), who with a time of 2:13.40 is the fastest Briton over the marathon this year, declined selection.
