In dire conditions, amid cold weather, with a wet track and a gusting headwind, Sarah Lavin again proved an unstoppable force, the Limerick hurdler rising above it all to produce her best ever performance on Irish soil. 

The Tokyo Olympian proved the undoubted star at Friday night’s Morton Games in Santry, blasting to victory in the 100m hurdles in 12.79.
