Good run by Andrew Coscoran

Star of the Sea athlete Andrew Coscoran recorded a personal best of 3:37.20 in the men's 1,500m final at the World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meet in France last night.

Coscoran finished in fifth place in a competitive field, with a time that makes him the fifth-fastest Irish indoor runner over that distance, behind Marcus O’Sullivan, Eamonn Coghlan, Ciarán Ó Lionáird and Mark Carroll.

The race saw Jakob Ingebrigsten smash the European indoor record in a time of 3:31.80 five seconds ahead of runner-up Marcin Lewandowski.

Coscoran won the 2020 All-Ireland Indoor 1,500m title and set a new championship record of 3.41.

Athletics Ireland will host an Indoor Micro Meet for invited high performance athletes in the Sport Ireland National Indoor Arena on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st February.
