Dubliner takes down two long-standing records by becoming the first Irish athlete to run under 3:33 as he registers a fine victory in France

The Meeting Nikaia in Nice has seen plenty of fast 1,500m times over the years – Steve Cram and Noureddine Morceli both setting world records there – and Coscoran’s sub-3:33 moves him well into World Championship final territory, his goal now when Budapest hosts that event at the end of August.

Griggs, fresh from his A Levels, had run 3:39.94 indoors and is targeting the defence of his European Under-20 title over 3,000m with those championships set for Israel in August. Meanwhile, Peter Somba from Dunboyne AC won the first of the Irish Life Race Series with an emphatic victory in the Corkagh Park 5-Mile, with rising Belfast talent Caitlyn Harvey breaking 30 minutes to win the women’s title.
