Exciting times await Limerick 60m Hurdler Sarah Lavin (Emerald AC) following a new personal best and a magnificent 5th place finish at the World Indoor Championships final in Glasgow.
Her placing at the weekend was a significant improvement on her seventh place at the last edition in Belgrade.
“I know I can win a major medal,” she predicted afterwards in an interview with RTÉ. “I just really want a major medal … I’m getting closer and closer.”
Next-up for Lavin is the European Outdoor Championships in June in Rome, and shortly afterwards the Paris Olympics.
In Scotland, Lavin’s clubmate, Róisín Harrison, was a member of the Ireland team that set a new national record (3:28:45) in qualifying for the 4x100m Relay Final.
