Healy on a high as she smashes record

Phil Healy played a starring role at last night’s AIT International Grand Prix in Athlone, the 25-year-old smashing the national indoor 200m record with her time of 23.10 seconds.

Drawn on the outside lane, Ireland’s fastest woman displayed impressive power to leave her rivals trailing, coming home a distant winner and smashing the previous record of 23.17, set by Ciara Sheehy in 2003.
