A video of Phil Healy winning the final leg of the 4 x 400 metre Irish University Championships in 2016 went viral around the world.[4] Her winning run is often cited as one of the greatest athletics comebacks of all time.[5][6] As she approaches the finishing line, having closed an 80-metre gap with the lead runners, the TV commentator is heard to shout "UCC from the depths of hell are powering through".[7][8]
