On the eve of the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Tyrone 1500m runner Nick Griggs received the fantastic A Level results of two A*s and an A.
The highly talented Newmills teenager, who was Head Boy at Cookstown High School, like many others students has been nervously awaiting results for the last few months.
However, while most students had the summer off, Griggs had the added pressure of getting ready for the biggest competition of his athletics career so far; the World Athletics Championships in Hungary.
Evidently, though, this did not distract Griggs too much as the 18-year-old received the fantastic results of two A*s and an A, which he found out after landing in Budapest ahead of the biggest athletics event of the year.
The principal of Cookstown High School took to social media to praise her students’ success.
