Exciting times await Limerick 60m Hurdler Sarah Lavin (Emerald AC) following a new personal best and a magnificent 5th place finish at the World Indoor Championships final in Glasgow.

Her placing at the weekend was a significant improvement on her seventh place at the last edition in Belgrade.

โ€œI know I can win a major medal,โ€ she predicted afterwards in an interview with RTร‰. โ€œI just really want a major medal โ€ฆ Iโ€™m getting closer and closer.โ€

Next-up for Lavin is the European Outdoor Championships in June in Rome, and shortly afterwards the Paris Olympics.
