Andrew Coscoran, meanwhile, disappointed in the men’s semi-final.
CIARA MAGEEAN EASED into the final of the women’s 1500m at the World Championships in Budapest this afternoon.
Sarah Healy, meanwhile, is out, finishing eighth in the second 1500m semi-final despite setting a new personal best. Only the top six in each semi-final progressed, with no reprieve for the fastest runners-up.The difference in pace between both semi-finals was jarring: nobody went sub four-minutes in the first semi-final, whereas nine of the 12 runners in the second semi-final broke that barrier.
The Portaferry athlete is one of Ireland’s best hopes at winning a first track medal at these championships since Sonia O’Sullivan won gold in 1995. She won silver at the European Championships a year ago and is in excellent form, having smashed O’Sullivan’s national one-mile record last month. Sarah Healy, by contrast, found herself in a stacked field alongside Sifan Hassan and Laura Muir. In clocking a new personal best of 3:59.68, Healy became only the third Irishwoman to break the four-minute barrier in the 1500m, following in the footsteps of Mageean and O’Sullivan.
