Phil Healy finished second in the 400m at the Millrose Games in New York on Saturday.

The Bandon sprinter - Ireland's fastest woman ever over 100m and 200m - crossed the line just behind American Jaide Stepter. Healy ran 53.72 with Stepter winning in 53.25.

The run was well-off Healy's on 400m indoor PB of 52.08 which was set in January of last year.
