Active Challenge for Wednesday

Next up, we have another local hero-Cian Mc Phillips. Cian Mc Phillips is a rising star within Irish Athletics and only recently made his Senior International debut in the European Indoor Championships in Poland.

In setting a National Junior and Under-23 record, Cian also became the second fastest Under-20 performer in the Indoor 800 metres in European Athletics history and the quickest on the continent’s record books in over 20 years. His time also represented the fastest junior indoor 800 metres in the world in five years and the sixth quickest by an Under-20 athlete in the world in the history of the sport. 

Cian won the High School Mile in front of over 5,000 spectators at New York’s Armory Arena as part of the schedule of races at the Millrose Games only in the last year.

We would like to thank Cian for taking time out of studying for the Leaving Cert and also from training to send us this video message along with today's Challenge.

Best of Luck and enjoy.
