Limerick's Sarah Lavin competes in her women's 100m hurdles semi-final at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest on Wednesday night
LIMERICK sprint hurdler Sarah Lavin broke a long-standing Irish record in her semi-final run in the 100m hurdles at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest on Wednesday evening.
Lisnagry hurdler Lavin clocked 12.62 in the first semi-final lowering Derval O'Rourke's Irish record of 12.65 which was set 13 years ago.
Lavin's time knocked .05 of a second off her previous personal best which was set earlier this month.
