Background
Currently coached by Trevor Painter and Jenny Meadows of the M11 Track Club, the University College Dublin graduate had an outstanding juvenile career before exploding onto the international scene. She won every Cross-Country Schools age group and has accumulated multiple national track and cross-country titles as a juvenile - all while under the tutelage of Eoghan Marnell (Blackrock AC, Dublin).
Her international career is not to be balked at either. Gold at the EYOF over 1500m, gold and silver at the European u18s, along with silver at the European u20 and 23s. Sarah holds two National records (the indoors 1500m and 3000m). The jewel in her crown (thus far) has been winning the 3000m at the European Championships earlier this year. Since then, she has topped the Diamond League tables as well as winning a Diamond League title in Rome.
At senior level, Healy has competed in two Olympic Games, two European Track and Field Championships, two World Indoors and one European Indoors. Tokyo will be her third World Championship appearance.
