Longford’s Cian McPhillips secures qualification for the European Under 20 Athletics Championships
Victory in the 1500 metres at the AAI Games at Morton Stadium in Santry
Cian opened his outdoor track season with victory in the 1500 metres at the AAI Games at Morton Stadium in Santry on Sunday last. His time of 3:46.27 was inside the 3:49 qualifying standard required.
This was Cian’s return to racing following his fourth place in the semi-final of the 800 metres at March’s European Senior Indoor Championships. Achieving the standard allows Cian to continue with his preparations ahead of Estonia during this busy period when he is also sitting his Leaving Cert.
