Southern Star article on Cork sprinter Phil Healy

Last weekend, Phil Healy from Ballineen in Co.Cork ran one of the fastest 400m times this year in the world when she won a race in Austria. The time would have been a qualifying time for the 2020 Olympics in Toyko except for the fact that the qualification period hasn't started yet.

There is an interesting long article in this weeks Southern Star about the Bandon AC athlete and how she has moved to Waterford to concentrate on her athletics career where she has use of the facilities at Waterford IT. The article outlines how she broke through to the next level for the 400m with the help of her coach Shane McCormack of Menapians AC in Wexford.
