Limerick's Sarah Lavin claims seventh national title 

JUMPING CLEAR: Irish Life National Athletics Championships, Morton Stadium, Dublin 25/6/2022. Women 100m Hurdles - Final

On a day of high winds at Morton Stadium, Limerick’s Sarah Lavin blew her domestic rivals away to win her seventh national senior outdoor title in the 100m hurdles, the 28-year-old Emerald AC athlete coming home a distant winner in 14.06 seconds ahead of Kate Doherty (14.64).

The time was a long way outside the 12.93 personal best Lavin clocked on her most recent outing in Madrid, and there was good reason for such a modest time from the Tokyo Olympian – it was run into a 5.0 metres-per-second headwind.
