Confident Costello bids to join sub-four-minute club

COLIN COSTELLO, the newly crowned European junior 1,500m champion, will chase Ray Flynn’s junior mile record in the Morton Mile at the Dublin International in Santry on Saturday.

In the process he could become Ireland's 40th sub four minute miler. The brilliant young Meathman joined the history makers on Sunday when he led Danny Darcy to a memorable Irish 1-2 in the European Junior Championships at Kaunas, Lithuania

Only Frank O'Mara and Paul Donovan had managed such a finish in the final of the 3,000m at the inaugural world indoor championships in Indianapolis in 1987.
