SARAH HEALY BREAKS HER OWN U23 1500M RECORD

Sarah Healy secured a new 1500m record (U23) at the World Indoor Tour Mondeville Meet in France last night (Feb 9th), improving on her own U23 record in an impressive 4.10.83.

The UCD AC athlete has shown tremendous consistency this indoor season, posting a 4.11.00 in Ostrava only last week (Feb 3rd).

Her time secured a brilliant second place finish at the French venue, finishing just behind Ethiopian Olympian, Netsanet Desta, and in front of Adelle Tracey (UK) who specialises over 800m.

Healy’s performance cements her place in 3rd on the Irish all-time list, with only Ciara Mageaan and Síofra Cléirigh Büttner having run faster 1500m times indoors.

The 2020 Tokyo Olympian will be back in action on Irish soil at the 2022 Irish Life Health National Indoor Championships at the Sport Ireland National Indoor Arena on February 26th and 27th.
