Cork City Sports sees Phil Healy break Irish 200m record

Phil Healy has become the first Irish woman to run the 200-metres in under 23-seconds.

Phil Healy’s tremendous summer of record-breaking has continued by smashing the long-standing Irish women’s 200m record at her home Cork City Sports – and Marcus Lawler almost did the same in the men’s equivalent.

Healy became the first Irishwoman to dip under 23 seconds over the half-lap distance by clocking 22.99 in finishing third at CIT.
