By Stephen BarryThe same week in which Phil Healy became the fastest Irish woman of all time, it was fitting that another Cork athlete produced a comeback to compare to her most famous effort. Healy famously came "from the depths of hell" to win a 4x400m relay for UCC in 2016. Now, Alannah Neff of Carrigaline CS has performed a Healy-esque comeback. Neff had a crashing fall at the third-last barrier of the senior girls’ 1500m steeplechase at the Irish Life Health All-Ireland Schools' Finals last weekend. At least she got steeplechase gold, plus a viral moment, for her troubles.
