Coscoran qualifies for European final

Star of the Sea athlete hoping to add to Irish medal haul

After Thursday's medal rush for Mark English and Rashidat Adeleke at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham Star of the Sea AC's Andrew Coscoran boosted Ireland's chances of more reward when he qualified for the final of the 1500m.

Coscoran came home inside the top-six in fourth place, finding a late surge down the home straight when he briefly looked to be flagging on the final bend.

The 30-year old former multiple time Meath Athlete of the Year is still chasing his first medal at European level having finished sixth in the final of the 3000m indoors in Apeldoorn last year. He also reached the world final in Tokyo in 2025.

Coscoran who has consistently lowered the Irish National 1500m record over the last three years won the national 1500m title in July and continues his good form ahead of tomorrow's final.
