Coscoran continues to improve Tokyo prospects

Star of the Sea athlete Andrew Coscoran took the runner-up position in the 1,500m at the Meeting D'Athletisme De L'Est Lyonnais at Lyon, France last night

Coscoran finished with a time of 3mins:36.16secs.

This time gains him 1,159pts in the athlete ranking system and represents an improvement on his score as he drops out his lowest scoring race of 1,096pts which was last July in Holland.

That improvement could gain him an additional 12 pts and could move him to 29th in rankings in the race to Tokyo.
