Balbriggan’s own Andrew Coscoran recently broke his own Irish 1500m record for the second time in two months. This was another outstanding performance from Andrew at the Silesia Diamond League meeting in Chorzow, Poland in mid July as he finished 4th with an amazing time of 3.30:42, - knocking over two seconds off his previous best that he recorded in Nice in June ! The race was won by Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen of Norway in a new European record time of 3.27:14. Kenyan’s Abel Kipsang and Reynold Kipkorir Cheruiyot finished second and third, respectively in the race. Coming as it does following his recent great form it is another excellent result for Coscoran who is being coached by Feidhlim Kelly. Andrew Coscoran now holds the national record for the metric mile indoors and outdoors. He will now turn his attention to making a final at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest later this month. Fantastic Andrew - Balbriggan is proud of you
