Cian McPhillips blitzes junior field in Millrose Games

Longford’s Cian McPhillips announced himself as a potential star when winning the junior mile at the Millrose Games in New York on Saturday.

The 17-year-old powered into the lead on the penultimate lap and clocking 4:10.95 to leave many of the best American teenage milers in his wake. It continues a breakthrough season for McPhillips, who recently broke the Irish U20 indoor 1500m record with his 3:44.85 in Athlone last month.
