VanBuren to keep both eyes on clock

American sprinter Cleo VanBuren is determined to write her name into the history books by becoming the first lady to break 11 seconds on Irish soil.

VanBuren will take to the blocks for the 100m at this evening’s Cork City Sports meet, with one focus and one focus only, the clock.

The unassuming American boasts a personal best of 11.10 and bids to join the elite who have dipped under the 11 second barrier, the barometer of world class female sprinting.
