Irish indoor records fall for Sarah Healy, Mark English & Andrew Coscoran at the Millrose Games

Irish indoor records were broken at the Millrose Games in New York, with Sarah Healy, Mark English and Andrew Coscoran running best-ever times in the 3,000m, 800m and the mile respectively.

Healy finished third in a time of 8:30.79 in the 3,000m, bettering the mark of 8:35.19 she set in Boston last week.

The UCD AC competitor is now the seventh fastest European woman over the distance.

English finished fourth in the 800m, clocking a time of 1:45.15 in the event to knock nearly one second off his previous best.

In finishing seventh in the Wanamaker Mile, Coscoran's time of 3:49.26 broke Eamon Coghlan's national indoor mile record of 3:49.78 and the outright Irish record for the distance set by Ray Flynn.

In the men's 3,000m, American Grant Fisher smashed the world indoor after a thrilling duel with Olympic 1,500m champion Cole Hocker.

Fisher and Hocker were locked in battle throughout the race before Fisher passed his fellow American off the final turn to clock 7:22.91 seconds, lowering Ethiopian Lamecha Girma's world mark of 7:23.81 set in 2023.

The 27-year-old Fisher won bronze in both the 5,000m and 10,000m at last year's Paris Olympics.
Hocker crossed the line in 7:23.14 on Saturday, also under Girma's mark.
