There was plenty of action in a jammed packed Morton Stadium where clubs from across Ireland took part for National Titles across a two-day schedule. Rhasidat Adeleke headlined the final day of the 123.ie National Senior Track and Field Championships with a record-breaking 100m display. The Tallaght AC athlete clocked a new Irish record of 11.13 (+0.7m/s) on her way to gold, finishing ahead of defending champion Sarah Lavin of Emerald AC in 11.37. The cheers could be heard from across Dublin with many children waiting patiently for autographs from the winners across the weekend, include fan favourite Thomas Barr who won his 12th national title to huge applause in the men’s 400m hurdles, crossing in a winning time 50.61.
