McElhinney and Healy light up Cork City Sports

DARRAGH McElhinney was in record-breaking form at the 69^th edition of the BAM Cork City Sports International Meet in MTU on Tuesday evening.

The Glengarriff man broke his own U23 3,000m record. He took over a second off the previous best to cross in 7:44.01, as he powered to a popular home win on Cork soil. Nick Griggs (Mid Ulster AC) went in the same race, crossing in sixth place in a new Irish U20 record of 7:53.40.

There was success, too, for Phil Healy, who won the women's 400m race in 52.06. Joan Healy was third in the women's 100m.
