Irish Times Sport Ireland Sportswoman of the Month:Ciara Mageean

Congratulations to Ciara Mageean who has won the Irish Times Sport Ireland Sportswoman of the Month award for September 2023 alongside Rowing's Siobhán McCrohan.

Ciara Mageean has had a remarkable 2023. In May she regained her Irish 800m record and in June she smashed Sonia O’Sullivan’s mile record to finish second at the Diamond League meeting in Monaco, her time making her the fifth fastest miler in athletics history.

In August, she broke the Irish 1500m record when she finished, agonisingly, fourth in an epic World Championships final. Finally, in September she broke her own 1500m record again, becoming the first Irishwoman to break 3:56 in the 1500m and taking second place at the Diamond League meeting in Brussels.

Congratulations Ciara!
