Adeleke comes up just short of Irish 100m record in Texas

Already the Irish record holder at 60m, 200m, 300m and 400m, the Tallaght native fell just .04 seconds short of Phil Healy's national mark

Rhasidat Adeleke came up just shy of the Irish 100m record at the Texas Invitational in Austin on Saturday, the 20-year-old Dubliner clocking 11.32 (+1.8m/s) to finish sixth and narrowly miss Phil Healy’s mark of 11.28, set in 2018.

Adeleke was already the Irish record holder at 60m, 200m, 300m and 400m, but the mantle of fastest of all time traditionally rests with the quickest athlete over 100m, and as such Healy’s mark was high on her agenda.
