Andrew Coscoran recorded the biggest win of his career at the second edition of Grand Slam Track in Miami on Friday night, the Dubliner out-kicking a world-class field to take victory over 3000m in 8:17.56.

After a dawdling pace through the opening two kilometres, Coscoran reached the bell in fifth place, but then unleashed a 54-second final lap, and a blazing 11.89-second final 100m, to hit the front a few metres from the finish, with USA’s Grant Fisher, a double Olympic medallist in Paris, second in 8:17.60. Britain’s George Mills, a recent European indoor silver medallist over 3000m, was third in 8:17.77.
