CIAN McPHILLIPS steps onto one of indoor athletics’ biggest stages at the Millrose Games in New York tomorrow, carrying serious momentum into his first 800m of the season.
After an eye-catching 600m victory in Boston last weekend, the Irishman now turns his focus to a distance where he finished fourth at last year’s World Championships in Tokyo.
With the World Indoor qualifying mark and the Irish record both within reach, the UCD Athletics Club athlete won’t be short of motivation against a stacked field that includes multiple sub-1:43 runners.
