Andrew Coscoran produced another excellent performance to secure a runner-up finish in the long-distance category at the Grand Slam Track event in Miami on Sunday – the Dubliner finishing third in the concluding 5000m to net the biggest payday of his career with $50,000 in prize money.

After winning the 3000m on Friday, Coscoran sat atop the points standings and was in the mix for the top prize of $100,000, but the 5000m was always going to be a trickier challenge, facing US star Grant Fisher, the indoor 5000m world record holder who won two Olympic medals in Paris last year.
