Cian McPhillips produced a devastating last lap to take victory over 600m at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in Boston on Saturday, clocking 1:16.37 ahead of former world champion Donovan Brazier (1:17.20). While McPhillips’ winning time in Boston came up shy of the Irish record of 1:15.80 set by Mark English in Abbotstown recently, the manner of his victory was striking. In the men’s 3000m in Boston, Andrew Coscoran finished runner-up in 7:30.97, just shy of his Irish indoor record of 7:30.75, with victory going to Australia’s Cameron Myers in 7:27.57. Nick Griggs again ascended to new heights by coming home fourth in 7:32.79, smashing his Irish U-23 indoor record by almost 13 seconds and moving second on the Irish indoor all-time list. Two world records fell at the meeting to US athletes, with Hobbs Kessler clocking 4:48.79 for 2000m and Josh Hoey breaking the world indoor 800m record, running 1:42.50.
