Magnificent seven for Sarah Lavin as she clinches another National Indoor title

With European Indoors just around the corner, a host of Ireland’s top athletes were in action at a sold-out National Indoor Arena.

LIMERICK HURDLER SARAH Lavin clinched her seventh National Senior Indoor title on Saturday afternoon as she tuned up for next month’s European Indoors.

The two-time Olympian raced to victory in the 60m hurdles final in 8.11 seconds, chased home by Molly Scott (8.34) and Arabella Adekoya (8.71).

In the men’s 60m hurdles, Adam Nolan was crowned national champion with a time of 7.95, beating Sean Carmody (8.33) and Emmanuel Osas (8.40).
