Andrew Coscoran narrowly missed the Irish indoor mile record when clocking 3:49.54 to finish fifth at the Millrose Games in New York on Sunday.

The Dubliner made a bold bid for glory in the Wanamaker Mile, taking the lead just after halfway, but faded on the final lap as Australia’s Cam Myers sprinted to victory in 3:47.57, with USA’s Yared Nuguse second in 3:48.31 and Hobbs Kessler third in 3:48.68.
