LIMERICK hurdler Sarah Lavin turned in an eye-catching display to win the Athletics Ireland Women’s 100m Hurdles at the Cork City Sports on Tuesday evening.

Lisnagry woman Lavin, who is preparing for the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris, clocked 12.83 (+1.8m/s) to finish ahead of Talie Bonds of the USA who ran 12.95 on a new track at the Munster Technological University.

Liberia’s Ebony Morrison finished in third place behind Lavin in a time of 13.15.

Emerald AC athlete Lavin retained her 100m hurdles title on a wet and windy opening day of the 123.ie National Senior Track and Field Championships at Morton Stadium last month.

The Limerick woman was claiming a 12th outdoor title and in winning the women's 100m hurdles set a new championship record of 12.79, taking 0.16 off Derval O’Rourke’s 2005 mark of 12.95.

Lavin, who is coached by Noelle Morrissey, claimed a seventh-placed finish in the women's 100m hurdles final at the European Athletics Championships in Rome last month.
