PHIL HEALY STORMED to a new personal best in the 400m winning in 51.50 at the Irish Milers meet in Belfast today.
The result improves the personal best she set when finishing fourth in at the European indoor championships in Poland and more significantly will provide valuable Olympic qualification points. Earlier in the day she won the 200m in blustery conditions in 23.21.
Sophie Becker placed second in the 400m and also produced a life time best, improving her previous PB by almost a second, running 52.32.
Today’s time moves her to the top five in the Irish all-time list. Cliodhna Manning also showed form to place third in 53.16 – just one hundredth off her personal best.
