ALNESS sprinter Abbie McNally has been called up to the Great Britain squad to compete at the World Para Athletics Junior Championships.

The 18-year-old has been selected as one of 15 athletes who will compete at Nottwil, Switzerland in August.

McNally, who trains with the Inverness Harriers, will compete in the T37 100 metres and 200 metres.
