LIMERICK’s Sarah Lavin continued her excellent early season form as she beat her personal best twice at the World Indoor Tour on Wednesday evening in Madrid.
The event came in the wake of her selection for the Irish team at the European Indoor Championships in Poland in March.
In the heat for the 60m hurdle final, Lavin posted a time of 8.14, which was .04 seconds better than her previous PB which she posted earlier this month in Ostrava.
That run was enough for third in the race and a place in the final later that evening.
